Who Will Love My Children? (1983)
This might play like an over-the-top melodrama if it weren’t based on a true story. Ann-Margret plays mother of 10 Lucile Fray, who has terminal cancer. Since her alcoholic husband is ill-equipped to care for the children, Lucille spends her last days finding suitable homes for her kids. Ann-Margret’s performance elevates the TV-movie genre and respects the amazing woman at its center.
