Can You Inherit a Baby?
Manage episode 301266154 series 2951249
Welcome back to episode 5 of Let’s Discuss, a Pop Culture and Law Podcast. In episode 5 we talk about an 80’s classic written by the all-time queen of romcoms Nancy Meyers and starring Diane Keaton: Baby Boom. Keaton plays a take on the American yuppie: a successful and workaholic no-nonsense businesswoman who has the surprise of her life when she is made to be the caretaker of a 6-month-old baby belonging to her recently deceased and estranged cousin that as stipulated in her cousin’s will who she hasn’t seen in years. So the big question we want to answer about this movie is: CAN YOU INHERIT A BABY? HINT: kind of. To support this theme we talk about Dana Reeves, a philanthropist and widow of Superman himself, Christopher Reeves. We discuss Dana’s unexpected choice of guardian to her 13-year-old son when she realized she would sadly lose her battle to lung cancer 2 years after Christopher’s death.
