Rosie O'Donnell Coming to Lifetime

Emmy® winner Rosie O’Donnell has signed on to star in and executive produce the poignant new Lifetime Original Movie, “America,” premiering in February 2009. Based on E.R. Frank’s book of the same name, the film follows the story of a boy named America, an emotionally vacant sixteen-year-old, who spent his entire life shuffled through the foster care system. O’Donnell stars as a therapist who gives America the support he needs to deal with his troubled past and helps him find the courage to live. Emmy® winning actress and Academy Award® nominee Ruby Dee (“Decoration Day,” “American Gangster”) stars as Mrs. Harper, one of his caretakers while in foster care, and the only person in America’s life who provided him with love and stability.
