The Betty Ford Story (TV Movie) - Feature Clip

President Gerald Ford’s wife, Betty, brought her own stamp to the role of First Lady. Outgoing and warm, she became an instant hit with a public wearied of the corruption and personal drama of the Watergate era. But behind the gracious exterior she hid a secret: an addiction to alcohol and prescription drugs. Ultimately, she would own up to those personal demons…and triumph over them, setting an example for others. Gena Rowlands portrays Betty Ford, winning an Emmy and a Golden Globe for her inspirational performance in this tale of Ford’s life as a loving wife and mother to secret substance abuser to founder of the Betty Ford Center, the renowned addiction clinic that remains a monument to her courage.

Betty Ford was an amazing and very courageous woman. She continued to help others suffering from addiction until her death

[@peterdurkin1499]

People with addiction should not be treated like they committed a crime

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

I'm not sure their insane behavior should be excused without any consequences or required treatment. They do incredible damage to other people. Not just physical, but the emotional toll is horrific.
All addicts are very selfish.

[@Amy.]

Yes, they are; but they need compassionate help if they’re willing to receive it.

I remember when Betty was going through this, I was 5 years old when Gerry was in office!

* I've been looking for it for awhile now....I found online where you can at least buy the DVD. Check amazon and DVD planet....but one thing I've learned is to continually type into the RUclips search bar any movie you want to see, even old ones. Sometimes I may do it for a couple years and EVENTUALLY SOMEBODY posts it here :) so I'm not giving up, haha;) I'm going to keep trying til maybe somebody posts it. Have a great day and stay safe :)

[@justiceformattlabbe8021]

For security reasons you would think they would give a former First Lady of The United States a private room

[@upyerkilt6042]

Can’t even buy this movie, not sure why.
