Well, of course, there are the Alien series of films, which deal with pregnancy in a metaphorical way. There are the what-if-men-got-pregnant-films, like Junior (Schwarzenneger). There are the Look who's talking films. There was the great debacle about Demi Moore naked and pregnant on the cover of Vanity Fair. There are films about pregnancy as a social issue, such as Snapper and Angie. Hope that helps Alison Message text written by Film and TV Studies Discussion List > I am working on a paper in which I want to consider the history of pregnancy in film and television representation-both the concealment of actresses' pregnancies and the spectacular representations of actresses' OR their characters' pregnancies. Examples include Marge Gunderson's pregnancy in Fargo (I don't believe Frances McDormand was pregnant during the production of this film though I'd be interested in anyone's ability to confirm or disprove my suspicion) and Lacey's pregnancy in Cagney and Lacey (occasioned by Tyne Daly's actual pregnancy). If anyone has examples of other TV or film scenarios that I might consider, I'd appreciate any suggestion. Or if you know of any research or scholarship that deals with this issue, I'd appreciate those suggestions as well. < ---- To sign off Screen-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF Screen-L in the message.
