  • Quotes

    I optioned the book 'America' in 2002 and worked on the script for a number of years. The story has so much heart, and I can only hope that by bringing the foster-care system into the public's consciousness that much-needed reform can be made.NY Daily News: Now Lifetime's got Rosie O'Donnell (October 23, 2008) -Rosie O'Donnell
