Maggie Gyllenhaal poses with lookalike daughter Ramona, 18, in rare family sighting

Maggie Gyllenhaal posed with her lookalike 18-year-old daughter Ramona in order to celebrate a career milestone in the family. 

This past Sunday, Maggie’s brother Jake Gyllenhaal opened in a Broadway production of Othello, starring Denzel Washington as the тιтle character.

Meanwhile Jake is featuring in the famously plum role of Iago, whose underhanded schemes set the stage for the tragic events of the Shakespeare classic.

Jake, 44, was surrounded by loved ones on opening night – such as Maggie, 47, her husband Peter Saarsgard, 54, and their daughters Ramona and Gloria, 12. 

They all gathered together for a group sH๏τ that included Jake and Maggie’s mother Naomi, as well as Jake’s girlfriend Jeanne Cadieu, 44.

Amid the crowd of happy family members, Maggie and Ramona stood out for their heartwarming resemblance to one another.

Sunday marked a rare public showbiz event for Ramona and Gloria, though Maggie did take her eldest daughter to a Dior show at Paris Fashion Week in 2022.

The couple began their romantic relationship in 2002 and ultimately married in 2009, when their eldest daughter was two years old.

Denzel and Jake’s revival of Othello has smashed box office records on Broadway, earning $2.8 million just with its eight previews before it even officially opened. 

Ticket prices are through the roof, with some audience members paying up to $1,000 to catch the two showbiz heavyweights on Broadway.

Director Kenny Leon defended the soaring costs to DailyMail.com, comparing the play to sitting courtside at a Laker game. 

‘I love LeBron James. When we go to a basketball game, you get a floor seat. So to me, with a commercial industry, people are paying what they think it’s worth,’ he argued.

‘A guy showed up the other night and he said: “I paid $921 for this ticket and you know what? I don’t want a cent back. I want to figure out how to come back.”‘

A cavalcade of boldface names was in attendance at Sunday’s opening night of the Othello revival, including Jennifer Lopez, Samuel L. Jackson and Martha Stewart.

Pussycat Dolls star Nicole Scherzinger, who recently made a Broadway splash of her own in a revival of Sunset Boulevard, was also on hand for Sunday’s opening. 

Former U.S. President Joe Biden there as well, on the arm of his wife Jill Biden, in order to catch the star-studded new production.

The current Broadway revival of Othello, which director Kenny Leon has placed in a contemporary setting, will run for only 15 weeks.

Maggie has spoken frankly about motherhood in the past, including the way that having Ramona changed her perception of other women with children. 

‘I used to be judgmental of the way other people would parent,’ she told Scholastic Parent & Child in the August/September issue in 2020.

‘I would look at someone talking on a cell phone while her baby was asleep in a stroller and think: “How can that mother have her cell phone out?”‘ she recalled.

‘Then you actually have a baby and you’re like: “She’s sleeping; I have 10 minutes; I’ll make three phone calls,”‘ Maggie shared.

‘I think so much of my judgment – not only about how people parent, but about people in general – went away when I became a mom.’
