HBO To Air 1996 Original Film IF THESE WALLS COULD TALK On December 9

The Film Tells Three Stories Of Unplanned Pregnancy Set In Different Decades

HBO will air the 1996 original Emmy(R) and Golden Globe-nominated film IF THESE WALLS COULD TALK, examining abortion through three stories set in 1952, 1974 and 1996, on FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9 at 8:00 p.m. ET. The film will also be available to stream for the first time on HBO Max. Directed by Cher and Nancy Savoca, the film stars Demi Moore, Sissy Spacek, Cher, Xander Berkeley, Hedy Burress, Anne Heche, Jada Pinkett Smith, Shirley Knight, and CCH Pounder.

The film originally aired on HBO on October 13, 1996, following its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival that year, and was a landmark high for HBO female viewership. The New York Times original review highlighted the film's "unapologetic tone," and Variety noted, "the cast is terrific, and the opportunity to watch two dozen of the most interesting actresses in American cinema is rewarding in its own right."

IF THESE WALLS COULD TALK is a powerful, intimate portrait of three women living in the same house during different eras who all face unplanned pregnancies. The vignettes follow a recently widowed nurse (Moore) struggling to take control of her life in the early 50s, a mother of four (Spacek) balancing raising a family and maintaining a career in the 70s, and a student (Heche) making a difficult decision with the help of one woman (Cher) that will change the course of both their lives in the 90s.

"We are so grateful to HBO for allowing us to make this film and the conversations it inspired in 1996," says executive producer Suzanne Todd. "HBO Max making it available to a new generation of audiences will hopefully once again bring attention to the issue of women's healthcare."

The film was nominated for four Emmys(R), including for Outstanding Television Movie; and three Golden Globes, including for Best Miniseries or Motion Picture Made for Television, Best Lead Actress in a Miniseries or Motion Picture Made for Television (Demi Moore), and Best Supporting Actress in a Series, Miniseries or Motion Picture Made for Television (Cher). Jada Pinkett Smith was nominated for an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Television Movie or Miniseries.

Directed by Cher (1996 segment) and Nancy Savoca (1952 and 1974 segments); Written by Pamela Wallace, Earl W. Wallace and Nancy Savoca. Executive produced by Demi Moore and Suzanne Todd.
