The Color of Love: Jacey's Story is a 2000 American drama television film directed by Sheldon Larry, written by Nancey Silvers, and starring Gena Rowlands and Louis Gossett Jr. It aired on CBS on March 19, 2000.
A white grandmother and a black grandfather, not married to each other, must overcome their differences to raise their suddenly orphaned granddaughter.
Filming took place in Wilmington, North Carolina. [1]
Ramin Zahed of Variety gave the film a mixed review, stating: "Watching the sentimental telepic "The Color of Love: Jacey’s Story," feels a lot like visiting your grandma and eating her homemade pie. The experience is terribly predictable, but you go through with it, because of the comfort it offers." [1]
For her performance, Gena Rowlands was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award in the category of Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie. [2] The film was also nominated for two Satellite Awards: one for Gossett Jr. in the category of Best Performance by an Actor in a Miniseries or a Motion Picture Made for Television, and one for Rowlands in the category of Best Performance by an Actress in a Miniseries or a Motion Picture Made for Television.
