Contact seller5-star sellerFinal Draft script for an unproduced television movie, copy belonging to actor and stunt person Nick Dimitri, with his shipping label stapled to the first leaf, and his stamp on the front wrapper and the cast page, with manuscript ink annotations on 26 pages, most of which are dog-eared. Bound in following the script is a 23-pag…e shooting schedule, dated 2/24/84, a two-page stunt list, a three page one-line schedule, a two-page "location information" memo, a two-page staff and crew list, and a shooting locations contact list. Laid in is a call sheet, dated 3-5-84, with a copy of a hand-drawn map of a shooting location and directions attached to the call sheet with a staple. The 106-page script found here (139 including production materials), written by "Me and Mom" series creator Hal Sitowitz, was likely intended as a television movie to precede the series, which never aired. The production materials bound in after the script confirm the film was shot, though we have found no record of a television film of the series ever being released. The pilot episode of the series, "Me and Mom: A Killing in the Market," credited to screenwriter Marsha Miller, was a standard 60-minute episode, with an unrelated plotline, and contained one crossover character from the script found here (other than the three principle characters in the series), that of limo driver Vince Galdor (here Caladori), played by Caitlyn Jenner (Bruce Jenner), as noted on the call sheets, with the other characters in the script not present. Created by Sitowitz, and starring Lisa Eibacher and Holland Taylor, as Kate Morgan and her wealthy socialite mother, Zena Hunnicutt, respectively, who open a private investigation service in San Francisco, with the help of her late father's partner Lou, played by James Earl Jones. The series premiered on ABC on April 5, 1985 and aired for six episodes before ending on May 17, 1985. Kate and her mother Zena, with the help of Kate's late father's partner Lou, decide to open a private investigation service in San Francisco when they are hired by Jerry Walden, on the run from Frank Ying, a former business partner who tried to kill him in Mexico. Titled goldenrod Viacom wrappers. Title page present, dated January 26, 1984, noted as FINAL DRAFT, with credits for screenwriter Hal Sitowitz. 139 leaves, with last page of text numbered 91. Xerographic duplication, rectos only, with blue, pink, and yellow revision pages throughout, dated variously between 2/13/84 and 2/26/84.
