Amy Ryan jokes that friends won't let her baby-sit any more, that society will never let her have kids of her own.

That's what happens when you do your job as well as Ryan did in "Gone Baby Gone," in which she plays the mother of all neglectful mothers — boozy, promiscuous, corrosively foul-mouthed and out either doing drugs or transporting them when she should be home with her darling 4-year-old daughter.

The role has vaulted Ryan from acclaimed stage performer and TV regular to movie star, earning her an Academy Award nomination as supporting actress among her many film honors this season.

Ryan dominated "Gone Baby Gone," Ben Affleck's directing debut. Coming out on DVD Feb. 12, the movie features Ryan as Helene, a low-class mom who displays shocking callousness and duplicity amid a media circus over the abduction of her daughter.
