Who is Scott Evil's mother in "Austin Powers"?

Scott Evil’s mother in the “Austin Powers” films is Frau Farbissina.

Frau Farbissina is Dr. Evil’s former lover and one of his most loyal henchpeople. The films reveal that she and Dr. Evil had Scott together, making Scott Dr. Evil’s biological son rather than merely an employee or henchman in his organization. Scott’s resentment largely comes from Dr. Evil’s long absence and his awkward attempts to become a father after returning to the present.

The family connection becomes an especially memorable joke in “Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me” (1999), when Scott appears on “The Jerry Springer Show” and learns that Frau Farbissina is his biological mother. She is portrayed by Mindy Sterling, whose loud German-accented delivery and exaggerated shouting became a recurring comedic feature of the series.

A common mix-up is Mini-Me, who is Dr. Evil’s genetically engineered dwarf clone and is sometimes treated like another son. Mini-Me is not Scott’s mother or biological parent. Frau Farbissina also appears in “Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery” (1997), “The Spy Who Shagged Me,” and “Austin Powers in Goldmember” (2002).
