THEY GET BY WITH A LITTLE (PAID) HELP

Greta Gerwig says she and her husband, fellow filmmaker Noah Baumbach, would not be able to juggle parenthood and work without paid help. Little Women filmmaker Gerwig and Marriage Story filmmaker Baumbach had their first child together in March last year when she gave birth to a son, Harold. Neither has let parenthood slow them down, with both Little Women and Marriage Story thought to be among this year’s likely Oscars contenders. And Gerwig, pictured, admits there’s no way they’d be able to cope without the help of a nanny, family and friends. “There’s no way I could do it without that (paid) help, as well as my mother and my friends,” she tells Elle UK. “Whatever you were prepared for, none of it (motherhood) is how you think, as far as I can tell. There has to be a certain amount of denial that goes on.”
