Sedgwickthe producer, expressed the enthusiasm of Stewart regarding the project: “She’s never done television, but when she read this she became obsessed with telling Sally Ride’s story from her own unique perspective that I won’t even try to paraphrase because she’s so eloquent about it. She was impressive in these pitch meetings and that was a big part of why she has been so competitive. She is so compelling and she was so eager to tell this story about an American heroine that she had to hide who she was, at that time. Who better to play Sally Ride than one of the great actresses of her generation? As they say in Hollywood, passion wins the day.”
