It’s a common problem for women in the work force … finding the right time to put things on hold to have a baby. For Georgina Scott it might be too late. Miss Conception’s lead character finds out she’s down to just one egg and facing early menopause days after kicking her boyfriend to the curb. Now the 33-year-old needs to find a way to get pregnant – and fast.
Hollywood.com caught up with Heather Graham, who stars as Georgina, to find out her thoughts on motherhood, the movie and more.
On taking the role of Georgina Scott:
“I thought it was funny, just the idea of some girl trying to get these random strangers to impregnate her. I just thought that would be fun.”
On her favorite scene:
“I really liked trying to force the gay guy to have sex with me, because it is just funny because you don’t ever get to say ‘Take your pants off. You are getting me pregnant!’ You don’t ever have to yell at a guy to have sex with you [laughs].”

On her English accent in the film:
“We had a coach and he was amazing. This guy named Brendan Gun. He’s done a lot of movies and thank God for him. We were both very scared, but he helped us feel confident.”
On having a baby:
Over the past few years I’ve definitely been a little bit more excited about the thought of having a baby because I’ve never been someone who was really wanting one, but recently I have started to think that it would be fun. I don’t want to get desperate about it like my character in the film. I think if it is meant to happen it is meant to be.”

On having kids later in life:
“I just think it is cool that there are so many advances in science that people can have kids. To be honest I guess I feel for myself that I think I would be a much better parent now then when I was at 20, you know what I mean? It is kind of ironic that right at the moment when we’re probably better at taking care of another person that it is sort of biologically harder.”
On women trying to have children on their own:
“I do respect women who really know what they want and they are like ‘I really want to have this kid, I’m going to go to the sperm bank. I’m going to have this.’ I respect that if someone really knows that [they’re] meant to have a kid and they follow through on that.”
