I can’t recall hearing much about Mary Stuart Masterson since she starred in films like Some Kind of Wonderful in 1997, Fried Green Tomatoes in 1991 and Benny & Joon in 1993. Kaiser tells me that she remembers her from Law & Order: SVU in a recurring role (from 2004-2007 according to IMDB) and it looks like she was last on the NBC show Mercy which was canceled last year. Masterson also did some work on on Broadway in 2003.

Anyway Masterson just announced that she’s pregnant at 44 with twins! She’s due this summer. She also has a 17 month old son with her husband, actor Jeremy Davidson. Things are going to be busy at their house:

Mary Stuart Masterson is expanding her family – by two.

The actress, 44, and husband Jeremy Davidson are expecting twins this summer. The couple are already parents to a 17-month-old son.

“We are four months along. So balancing career and family is becoming increasingly challenging for me,” Davidson, who stars on Army Wives, tells E! Online. “And in five months we are going to have three kids under the age of 2. We are in happy shock about it.”

Congratulations to Masterson and Davidson! It’s really nice to hear when women have babies after 40, although it might not have been easy for her.
