Baby M

When Bill and Betsy Stern ask MaryBeth Whitehead to bear a surrogate child for them, it seems like a perfect arrangement. But little do they realize that MaryBeth will refuse to surrender her new born daughter. There are no laws governing surrogacy and when MaryBeth goes on the run with the baby, the Stems are forced into a traumatic court case to fight for custody of the daughter they have grown to love so dearly. But even more crucial are the rights of Baby M herself, a child growing up with two names, two homes, a child torn between two loving families.

Baby M was actually shot almost entirely in L.A.
I produced "Baby M" and I would just like to respond to the kind comments from Allison L. Venezio: I guess we did what we are supposed to - that is, make people believe - because you thought the movie was shot in Ocean County, NJ. In fact, we shot for nearly 8 weeks in Los Angeles. The Whitehead house was in Van Nuys, and the courthouse was a church in Glendale. We only shot for 2 days in NY and NJ - on 5th Avenue, on the Jersey Turnpike, and in Weekhawken (although, by the time we got there, we'd lost our light and the beautiful NY skyline). I can't rate the movie, but the Television Academy nominated the mini-series for 7 Emmys, including best picture - though we lost. But happily, John Shea won "best actor".
