Where Is The Mom From 'The Princess Diaries' Now?

When we think of The Princess Diaries, we tend to think of the best makeover montage of all time, crazy-mean girls who also sing, and, of course, Julie Andrews as Clarisse, Mia Thermopolis' (Anne Hathaway) stern-but-totally-lovely paternal grandmother. The Princess Diaries may be about Mia's journey to find out what being royalty really means, but it also is about discovering the meaning of family — and Clarisse isn't the only family member who totally has Mia's back. Actress Caroline Goodall gave us total #parentinggoals with her portrayal of Helen, Mia's awesome artist mom who pops paint-filled balloons and converted an old firehouse into the coolest loft ever. While we may know what Hathaway has been up to since The Princess Diaries, what has her Princess Diaries mom been doing since her painting days? Here's what we know.

Though you may not recognize Goodall's name right off the bat, you totally know this actress from a bunch of beloved movies. She starred in Hook opposite Robin Williams as Wendy's daughter (and Peter's wife) in 1991, and in 1993 starred as Oskar Schindler's wife who, along with her husband, helped save hundreds of Jewish lives during the Holocaust in Schindler's List in 1993. So what other notable roles has she taken on after The Princess Diaries in 2001? Though this actress has a long resume, here are some notable parts:
