Crisis at Central High is a 1981 made-for-television movie about the Little Rock Integration Crisis of 1957, based on a draft of the memoir by the same name by former assistant principal Elizabeth Huckaby.[1]
William Link and Richard Levinson wrote the screenplay and were executive producers together with David Susskind of Time-Life Productions.[2] The film starred Joanne Woodward as Huckaby and told the events from that character's point of view, although one obituary at the time of Huckaby's death cited her as saying the TV-movie enlarged her role.[3] Woodward was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or a Special[4] and a Golden Globe Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for TV,[5] in 1981 and 1982 respectively.[6][unreliable source?]
