*Narrated by Joanne WoodwardAndrea Friedman lives an ideal life. A film and television actress, Andrea has starred in a successful ABC network television series. And she has recently been accepted into the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. She is also an accomplished speaker and is sought after to give keynote addresses at conventions all around the world. When she's not filming or touring, Andrea lives in beautiful West L.A. and drives her own BMW to work in a downtown law office. Weekends are spent with friends, shopping, going to movies, dances or walking by the beach with her boyfriend. It is a life that most young women only dream about... except that Andrea has Down Syndrome!
When Andrea was born the doctors urged her parents, Hal and Marj Friedman, to place her in an institution. Hal and Marj refused to accept this verdict for their precious daughter and set about to give her all the love, opportunities and challenges they would any child. This program traces Andrea's childhood and the family's struggle to have her accepted in the 'mainstream'. As we follow Andrea's daily life - at work, at home, at acting workshops and out with friends - we explode many of the myths about people with mental challenges.
