Teenage Mother (also known as The Hygiene Story) is a 1967 American exploitation film directed by Jerry Gross and starring Arlene Sue Farber. [1] It is about teenage pregnancy, hygiene and a graphic actualization of birth. It was billed as "The film that dares to explain what most parents can't." [1] It marked Fred Willard's film debut.
An author likened the film to an exploitation edition of the 2007 film Juno . [2] [3]
In a brief interview on the DVD extras of the 2007 documentary film Heckler , Willard reported the audience at one screening of the film booed after his character interrupted an attempted sexual assault.
