Steve Carell, now starring in 'Despicable Me 2', talks about how proud his parents are of his success and growing up as the youngest of four brothers.

MY maternal grandma was a tough, tough lady and a stern woman, who lost her husband young and raised six kids by herself. She lived in a mining community in Upstate New York and ran a boarding house for miners. She took care of an entire family and miners who lived in the house as well. She cooked breakfast and lunch for everybody every day. I wouldn’t say she was humourless, but she wasn’t wacky – a pretty serious person.
