Just remembered a TV Movie starring Helen Hunt as a woman
Quarterback. It might have been an AfterSchool Special.
It was pretty good and focused on the issue of women competing
in a male sport -- and the consequences she suffered (boyfriend
problems, peer pressure).
I've written a script about women's softball team overcoming
a corrupt athletic department. The agents and producers all
say it's very good... "But who will watch a women's sports
movie?" Then Penny Marshall hits it big with "League of Their
Own". Now the question is, "Is softball really INTERESTING?"
Give me a break. Sports movies, generally male or female, do
well because of the underdog mentality of most people. Rocky
wasn't just about boxing.
