That helped it reach the Zombieland star, who shared an image of Ms Mulvenna's tweet on Instagram to his 2.7m followers.
However, commenting on the image, Harrelson also penned an adorable poem to the tot, entitled Ode to Cora.
It read:
You're an adorable child
Flattered to be compared
You have a wonderful smile
I just wish I had your hair.

The star's post received more than 300,000 likes, while Ms Mulvenna's tweet sharing Harrelson's poem has racked up almost 900,000 likes.
Despite the similarity between the baby girl and the 61-year-old actor, Ms Mulvenna also shared another snap of her adorable daughter to show she doesn't always look like Harrelson.
"It's just that when she does… she really, really does," she added.
Cora says, thank you all so much for the likes and retweets and also that she doesn't always look like Woody Harreslon, it's just that when she does...she really really does xxx pic.twitter.com/0CuEQrIgSy

Texas-born Harrelson became a household name after starring as the naïve but likeable bartender Woody in the hit 1980s sitcom Cheers.
He went on to feature in numerous critically and commercially successful films, including The Thin Red Line, No Country for Old Men and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.
He has also appeared in successful franchises including The Hunger Games as Haymitch Abernathy and Stars Wars as Beckett in Solo: A Star Wars Story, as well as the Now You See Me and Zombieland movies.
He is soon to star in The Most Dangerous Man in America as Timothy Leary, a Harvard University psychologist from an Irish Catholic family who advocated the use of psychedelic drugs.
