Teddy "Ted" Quinn (born November 12, 1958, in La Porte, Indiana) is an American musician, record producer, radio personality and actor.

Quinn's final line was – "Mothers are like that ... yeah, they are"— and the last three words were an endearing ad lib that caught the public's fancy.

One columnist wrote, "Probably no 'commercial' personality in television history has so completely captured the interest and affection of viewers as little Teddy Quinn, who became famous overnight with the phrase: 'Mothers are like that... yeah they are'...

"[1] The ad also caught the attention of casting agents,[2] leading to his career in Hollywood, including roles in Bonanza,[3] Dr. Kildare, The Virginian, The Courtship of Eddie's Father,[4] Accidental Family[5] and as Scott Baldwin on General Hospital.

During the 1990s, he was one of the co-founders, with Fred Drake and Dave Catching, of the Rancho De La Luna recording studio in Joshua Tree, California, and he continues to collaborate there as a singer, guitarist, and producer.
