As I am wont to do, I do Stevie searches all the time. A few years ago, I came across this listing on IMDB:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108189/

Now, on other movies that have Stevie's songs on the soundtrack or in the movie,they list her as "performer", but here it lists "Stevie Nicks as Herself".

A Song for You (1993)
Twenty one year old Donny O'Brien, a recent college graduate, dreams of moving to Los Angeles to pursue a songwriting career... See full summary »

Director: Ken Martin
Writers: James Duff, Ken Martin (story)
Stars: Christopher Thornton, Mark Ruffalo and Kathleen Noone

Cast overview:
Christopher Thornton ... Donny O'Brien
Mark Ruffalo ... Gus Davison
Kathleen Noone ... Mrs. O'Brien
Raye Birk ... Uncle Sal
Stevie Nicks ... Herself

Storyline
Twenty one year old Donny O'Brien, a recent college graduate, dreams of moving to Los Angeles to pursue a songwriting career. Only one thing stands in his way: an inability to confront the guilt associated with a car accident that left his mother mentally handicapped for the rest of her life. This is the story of how Donny comes to deal with his conflict and the unexpected wisdom he gains - both from his mother and his struggle to write a song for her.

Music Department
Stevie Nicks .... composer: theme music

????????

Does Stevie actually APPEAR in this movie? Was it ever released? Years ago, I wrote both Kathleen Noone and Mark Ruffalo about this film, but neither answered me. Does Stevie have something to do with the lead character writing a song? What song of Stevie's that she wrote is the "theme music"??????? A new one she wrote, or some old one used in the film?

IMDB has a Tusk-era Stevie photo in their credits (???).

If this is an old topic, I'm sorry for wasting precious bandwidth.

Hi Mike!

I went on a jaunt surfing the net and couldn't find a movie at all with that name. Doesn't seem like it was released? Being a, "Stevie addict" for years I don't remember any interviews, etc., where she mentions this movie. hmmmmm.......

I've actually found several other movie sites today with the movie on them, but all have the exact same info as IMDB, and ALL list Stevie as in the cast as herself.

I guess I can ask Christopher Thornton to Friend me on Facebook and see if he will give me any info about Stevie's involvement in the film. :shrug:

It'll be interesting to find out what he or anyone else may know about that movie. I'll look more later too.

Stevie in a movie in 1993?:shrug:Seems like it was for the best that it never saw the light of day.

Well don't forget we have her voice as The Wise Old Owl in a radio play from that era. Stevie has never talked about either of these things. They must be true.
