Love Child (1982)
Itâs a story that made national headlines and was covered on 60 Minutes. Convicted and jailed for armed robbery in 1977, Terry Jean Moore fell in love with a prison guard and became pregnant. She then took on Florida courts in a historic legal battle to keep and raise her child behind bars. Amy Madigan made her movie debut as Moore in a performance called ârivetingâ by Gene Shalit of NBC-TVâs Today and âfine and affectingâ by Carrie Rickey of The Village Voice. Ultimate praise for the future Field of Dreams and Places in the Heart co-star came from Moore herself: âIt was me there, it really was.â Beau Bridges as the guard, Mackenzie Phillips as a fellow inmate and Margaret Whitton as Mooreâs attorney give strong support in a movie that rings with truth â and moves with its simple and direct power.
