Favorite on-screen and off-screen parent-child dynamic between 2 talented and beautiful actors (Daniel Durant and Marlee Matlin)!!! My personal DWSA headcanon is that Fanny Gabor has such a close relationship with Moritz Stiefel because she was also abused by one of her parents as a child, but she didn't let that affect her in the same way that Moritz was affected gravely by the abuse his father dealt him when he found out that he "failed". I also think it's possible that she appointed herself as Moritz's distant yet loving guardian when he was just born and knew that someday the boy and her own son Melchior would become friends. That's why I think Fanny is so sweet to Moritz because she's been in his life for a little longer than Moritz implied to remember.
