The docudrama Miss Lillian: More Than A President’s Mother is a poetic revelation of Lillian Carter’s life, as told by her friends and family who knew her best. The film includes a powerful interview with her son, President Jimmy Carter. It also features Former First Lady Rosalynn Carter, Sam Donaldson, Tommy Lasorda, and the people of Plains, Georgia. Miss Lillian is portrayed by Broadway and film/TV actress Carol Swarbrick.
Lillian Carter was an early civil rights activist, a fearless, hardworking nurse, an entrepreneur, a Peace Corps Volunteer at age 70, and an outspoken, all-around “fierce” woman. She embodied the best of American ideals. The film offers a vision for future generations of strong individuals. Everyone, young or old, can take away inspiration to start or continue a life of purpose. Miss Lillian is as timeless as her story and the life she lived.
