Mary-Louise Parker Keeps Parents in Emmy Loop

Four-time Emmy nominee Mary-Louise Parker may play a pot-dealing mom on Showtime's Weeds, but celebrating her own success with her real-life mom and dad makes it satisfying for the actress.

"The best part is my parents," Parker, 44, told PEOPLE at Saturday's Los Angeles Confidential pre-Emmy party, which she hosted. "I get to call them if they don't know already, but usually they know before me. That's absolutely the best part."
