Vanessa Hudgens
Hudgens plays Agnes (“Apple”) Bailey, a desperate pregnant teenager who runs away from a cruel drug-addicted mother played by Rosario Dawson. She tries to connect to her wealthy dad, played by Brendan Fraser. Things keep looking bleaker until she meets Frank McCarthy (James Earl Jones), a priest. He introduces her to Kathy DiFiore (Ann Dowd) who runs a shelter for homeless pregnant teens. It’s a true story with only a few small liberties taken by the writer/director, Ron Krauss, who lived in a homeless shelter for a year intending to shoot a documentary.
