Unfortunately, nobody believes her, not even her husband or best friend. But she knows that's impossible because she never did drugs and the baby kicked in the car on the way to the hospital. It stars Lori Loughlin as Jane, a woman with two children who is told her third child was stillborn due to narcotics found in her bloodstream. I saw this movie when it was new back in 1993, when I was just a teenager. It's a very intriguing film and worth a look. You really don't see too much of him until the later part of the movie. Eriq La Salle plays a detective that gets involved with the goings on in the story. Jackson's performance was (and still is) incredibly creepy. Like Rita, people will do ANYTHING to possess a child.
Unfortunately, there have been many cases like this one. What's startling about the film is the scene in which a pregnant woman is killed by Rita and her baby stolen. You have 2 stories going on throughout the film: A woman determined to find her child and faces obstacles from her husband and the hospital administration, and a woman that would go through ANY lengths to hold on to her man. Turns out that she's right: Her nurse Rita (A chilling Kate Jackson) stole her little baby girl, just so she can hold on to her married lover. Not your typical TV movie of the week: A young woman (Lori Loughlin) gives birth in a hospital, then is told that her baby is dead. Look for Eriq LaSalle before ER as a police detective. Loughlin is poignant as the determined mother. Kate Jackson has always been a good actress, and she won't disappoint you in this. This is still an interesting film where one truly empathizes with Loughlin, wants to see her vindicated, and can't get over how completely nuts Jackson is.
This isn't an unusual story - in TV movies, women have been stealing other women's babies for years. Loughlin risks her marriage and takes a lot of criticism in an attempt to find out what happened to her baby. The main focus of the story, though, is on the bereft mother of the girl baby, played by Lori Loughlin, who knows darn well her baby wasn't stillborn and also knows that the assertion of the hospital (thanks to a little computer touch-up by Jackson) that she was on drugs isn't true either. That part of the story foreshadows a real-life incident that took place just recently, when a woman was murdered and her fetus torn from her body. Since Frank (who's married, by the way, and lives with his wife) wanted a boy, and the stolen baby is a girl, she sets her sights on another mother. Kate Jackson plays a nurse from hell who, determined to hold onto her detestable boyfriend Frank, and after months faking pregnancy with a pillow, steals another woman's baby.
