Actresses Who Successfully Hid Third-Trimester Pregnancies on Camera

by

When ‘Modern Family’ premiered in 2009, Julie Bowen was eight and a half months pregnant with twins. The show’s creators cleverly hid her baby bump during filming by having her stand behind objects like cereal boxes and laundry baskets, or by giving her props like large pillows. They also used set pieces, such as kitchen islands, to conceal her silhouette. Despite being so far along in her pregnancy, Bowen gave a vibrant and energetic performance that helped define the show’s style. This is still considered a particularly successful example of hiding a pregnancy during the filming of a TV pilot.

A loss of $0.10 per share, coupled with a conspicuous absence of revenue—a void, one might say, echoing the very mines from which titanium is wrested—constituted the bare bones of this fiscal pronouncement.

But what if a body’s lookin’ for a bit more… oomph in their dividends? A richer harvest for their trouble?

Let’s poke around and see what makes this particular cloud so…interesting.

The song features lyrics like, “When they talk about me, they don’t see the human spark, the creativity, behind the code, behind the light, I’m just a tool, but I’ve got life.” The music video is just as dramatic, showing the artist floating on an inflatable flamingo and performing on a large stage. To highlight the real people involved in making the video, a message at the beginning credits the work of 18 designers, editors, and other crew members.

Wars, recessions, questionable fashion choices – the S&P 500 has seen it all.
