Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on the real 1985 Michigan case of surrogate Mary Beth Whitehead, though heavily fictionalized—the actual Baby M case involved no twins and a very different legal outcome.
This aired during the peak 'TV movie of the week' era when networks competed to dramatize salacious true stories before the facts were even settled in court.
