Yup it's made for TV not a major Hollywood studio production supported by all it's "Star Making Machinery", (which was in place in Wood's early days). NONETHELESS
There is much to be admired and appreciated in this tour de force perfornance.
Made NO LESS Relevant with the passing years NOR with the passing of Ms Wood herself where Booze was by all believable accounts a huge factor. It was by all reputable accounts a night of drunken brawling. JR has some 'splaining to do'
Still!
Overall though the message here is "Don't hide behind the "disease model" of addiction. Take accountability.
