* PlayingGertrude: Her role in ''Supergirl'' as the titular character's mother. Durance is only ten years older than Creator/MelissaBenoist. Compare this with the actor playing her husband, Robert Gant, who is not only believable as Kara's father (Gant is twenty years older than Benoist) but is a PosthumousCharacter (while Alura is alive to the present day), so it makes sense for him to be played by a relatively young actor.
