Woman at Center of Roe v. Wade Stars in Abortion-Themed Movie (Exclusive)

The new THR magazine reveals how acting novice Norma McCorvey -- who became pro-life two decades ago -- was persuaded by director Peter Mackenzie to join the potentially controversial "Doonby," starring John Schneider and Charlie Sheen's uncle.

A subplot in an upcoming film,a psychological thriller called Doonby, involves an unmarried woman during the 1960s who seeks a doctor to end her inconvenient pregnancy -- and an elderly woman who tries to talk her out of it.
