TV & VIDEO - Feb. 18, 1988

ABC’s making a TV movie based on the “Baby M” surrogate parenting case and shooting is under way at various Los Angeles locations. “Poltergeist” veteran JoBeth Williams is playing surrogate mother Mary Beth Whitehead-Gould in the two-part movie, to air at an undetermined date this spring. The movie will also feature John Shea, Dabney Coleman and Bruce Weitz, an ABC spokeswoman said. To cover the final outcome of the case--it’s still in the courts--the movie will include an update at the end that will be written just before the air date.
