know the source of this film

[mwwhitefl · 2/10 · 22 October 2005]

I have first hand knowledge of the source of this film. From a story out of Seattle Washington about a young woman, she was single, who started a well publicized business catering to athletes who need food, cleaning and a mother. She developed the business starting with a famous NBA center by the name of Jack Sikma who played for the Supersonics. My wife became involved through our friendship with the entrepreneur. The story was Hollywoodized and lost some of its gusto. The film is poor not in any way to the discredit of those who started the show. Any drama that came because of marital issues, portrayed in the film, was of course fictional. Twenty three years later we remain married. The heroine of the story today is a successful restaurateur, wife, mother and gorgeous socialite in San Diego.

AWFUL

Awful. Absolutely the worst movie ever made. No redeeming features whatsoever

This was a great classic TV movie from the mid-eighties, although when I saw it on TV I thought it seemed more seventies-style.

I wish I could find it somewhere. I was an extra in this film for several scenes. One involved something about people getting on an elevator. Then there was a memorable scene during the LA Lakers game segment when Ann Jillian kindly offered me some of her popcorn. She was very nice.

It was long days on the set but everyone treated us well and the actors were great. I hd a conversation with Robert Klein and he gave me advice about where to send my photo and resume. I wonder if people were just nicer back then. I can't see that happening now.
