“This story would be ripe for the telling at any point in the history of the industry,” Hennesy said. As we all know, so much has happened from the first frame shot decades ago to the fall of Weinstein… things that have been brushed over, hushed up, and taken to the grave,” she added.

A beautiful script like this, in the right hands all around, will continue the push forward toward ending abuse in any area of show business — and life — once and for all. I’m proud to be a part of it,” she continued.
