help Raising Helen FAQ
Who plays the kids Helen has to raise in Raising Helen?
Hayden Panettiere plays Audrey, Spencer Breslin plays Henry, and Abigail Breslin plays Sarah — with the Breslins being real-life siblings. Kate Hudson's Helen unexpectedly becomes their guardian after a family tragedy.
Who directed Raising Helen, and what else is that director known for?
Garry Marshall directed it in 2004. Marshall was the filmmaker behind Pretty Woman (1990) and The Princess Diaries (2001), and Raising Helen fits squarely in his warm, ensemble family-comedy mold.
Who are the other main cast members in Raising Helen?
John Corbett plays Pastor Dan, Helen's love interest, while Joan Cusack plays her no-nonsense older sister Jenny and Helen Mirren plays the icy modeling agency boss. The mother-of-three subplot unfolds against Helen's fashion-world career.
How was Raising Helen received when it came out?
It opened in summer 2004 to mixed reviews and a modest theatrical run. It's often grouped with Kate Hudson's post-How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days comedies of that era rather than remembered as a Garry Marshall hit.
