To My Daughter (1990) TV Movie

Laura Carlson is a well-to-do matron whose oldest daughter dies. The girl was always Laura's favorite; the remaining children, though not unaffected by the loss, hope that now their mother will pay some attention to them. Instead, Laura's grief threatens to shatter her already shaky relationship with her younger offspring. She virtually shuts the kids out of her life in order to finish her older daughter's uncompleted book. To My Daughter was unofficially based on the career of real-life writer Nancy Lynn Schwartz, who did indeed die before completing her history of the Screen Actors' Guild, obliging her mother to finish the job.

Cast: Belinda Montgomery, Jessica Walter, Kathleen York, Merlin Olsen, Samantha Mathis



Merlin Olsen died a couple days ago. He was openly acknowledged as a great man and an avid humanitarian. No one didn't like Merlin Olsen. To me he was even more, he was a personal hero. The Los Angeles Rams were my childhood favorite football team. From 1970 forward until their departure in 1993, I was a "Number 1" fan. I no longer follow the NFL, and the Rams of old are a distant memory. But I will always be a "Number 1" fan of the great Merlin Olsen. RIP.
