Felicity Huffman‘s fresh off playing a villain on Netflix — and in federal court — but in real life, she and William H. Macy are celebrating getting their kid into a cap and gown.
The couple attended daughter Sofia Grace‘s high school graduation ceremony Monday, as the L.A. High School of the Arts Class of 2019 was honored. The proud parents showed up dressed for the occasion … for which they’ve been preparing for a couple weeks.
We’ve seen Sofia’s mom and dad buying graduation balloons and flower arrangements, and now the big day was finally here. It couldn’t have come at a better time for Felicity … who’s been going through it professionally and personally.
She officially entered her guilty plea last month in the college admissions scandal, and is now looking at the possibility of up to 4 months in prison when she’s sentenced in September.
And, then there’s all the buzz around Felicity’s role as Linda Fairstein in the Netflix limited series, “When They See Us.”
The series paints the former Manhattan prosecutor as the the mastermind behind the false convictions of the Central Park 5 — and Fairstein’s been publicly lambasted since the series debuted.
Felicity plays her pretty brilliantly, but PR-wise — on the heels of her federal case — a Disney fairy godmother role might have been better. Timing.
Like we said, at least she’s got something to celebrate now.
