This has absolutely no indication or pull on the relative magnitude of acting skills. The question is reminiscent of some old-time political correctness where somehow sizable families were viewed as something akin to batting averages. But to continue with your question, Lucille Ball, Elizabeth Taylor, etc were off-screen mother types. I really feel the question is Off-Base- family size is of some concern to the I.R.S. but has no application to relative value of movie stars. It is interesting to note that some actors and actresses noted for ( Big Daddy/Mommy) type roles on the screen were in real life single.
