Curiosità
Absolute Strangers is a 1991 made-for-television CBS docudrama featuring Happy Days star Henry Winkler returning to his first major TV role in eight years. The screenplay, written by Robert Woodruff Anderson, was based on the true story of Marty Klein's controversial decision to have his wife Nancy undergo an abortion to aid her recovery after a head-trauma accident had left her comatose. The title is taken from the real-life court decision that used the phrase "absolute strangers", itself apparently derived from a courtroom outburst by Klein—to describe two anti-abortion activists, one of whom sued Klein to get custody of the fetus, the other to be appointed guardian of Nancy.
