Kirstie Alley’s final role was in “You Can’t Take My Daughter” for Lifetime. The film follows the story of a young woman fighting her rapist for custody of her daughter. The film was inspired by the true story of Analyn Megison, who stopped her rapist from winning that custody, per People.
Lyndsy Fonseca took on the lead role of Amy Thompson, the woman who decides to keep her child after being raped by Demetri (Hunter Burke) and then finds herself forced to actually put up a battle to keep him away from their daughter. The “Look Who’s Talking” star played the supporting character of Suzanne in the picture, and she revealed she was shocked to learn the movie was based on a true story after reading the script. Alley said she hoped the story being told in “You Can’t Take My Daughter” helped inspire change in custody laws.

“I don’t even know where these laws came from. They’re so insane so I hope the audience really sees that this is true, it really does go on, and the laws need to be changed across the board in all states,” the actress told People in a separate interview.
