Sounds like the perfect movie pitch right? Well, it’s not fiction people – it’s a true story. And it gets even more interesting.
Today on Oprah, Kimberly Reed, formerly Paul McKerrow, will be revealing her amazing story of going from a Montana High School’s golden boy quarterback to a modern day lesbian filmmaker in New York.
Kimberly Reed has created a documentary entitled Prodigal Sons based on her, I would venture to say almost unbelievable, life and the life of her family. It has to be one of the most intriguing films I’ve ever heard about.
It not only reveals her own story about growing up the popular high school quarter back, valedictorian, and student voted most likely to succeed who eventually transitions into a female lesbian, but also the story of her two brothers - Marc, the oldest adopted son, who ends up finding out he is the long lost grandson of Orson Welles and Rita Hayworth and also goes through a tramatic accident that leads to life-altering brain surgery, and the youngest brother, Todd, who comes out as a gay man later in life.
Prodigal Sons is to be released in theaters in late February by First Run Features and broadcast on the Sundance Channel in June. Until then, set your DVRs to record her interview with Oprah today!
