For the Love of Nancy

“A revealing look at a devastating illness.”

Nancy Walsh (Tracey Gold) wants to be thinner, and every meal she skips tightens her hold on that goal. Her mother, Sally (Jill Clayburgh), and her father watch her shrink and push back, in a made-for-television drama directed by Paul Schneider and based on a true story. Gold was recovering from anorexia herself while filming, and the cost for the family is Nancy's life.
