Lemonade Stories, which chronicles the impact of mothers of wildly successful entrepreneurs, debuted on CNNfn to tremendous press and acclaim (including cover stories in USA Today, Forbes.com, Christian Science Monitor, ABC News.com, CNN Money, UPI, NPR, Bloomberg Radio, Fast Company, Boston Globe, CNN Headlines News) and won the 1st Place Judge's Commendation for BEST DOCUMENTARY from the Rhode Island International Film Festival, one of the few festivals to qualify films for Academy Award consideration.  Lemonade Stories aired nationwide in Israel, Hong Kong, the UK, New Zealand, Hong Kong and the Middle East in 2007 and 2008.

Apple Pie, a film about high profile athletes and their moms which aired on ESPN, was called "warming and illuminating, told with deftness and emotion" - New York Times; "fantastic" - NPR; "excellent" - CNN; "heartwarming" - Los Angeles Times,  and was also a recommended pick by Entertainment Weekly and TV Guide.   A Hero for Daisy, which profiled the Title IX demonstration at Yale in 1976 by two-time Olympian Chris Ernst, was hailed as a "landmark film" by The New York Times, "remarkable" - NPR;  "fantastic" - Sports Illustrated, "inspirational" - TV Guide, aired on ESPN Classic, Oxygen, WTSN-Canada, and was invited to screen at the Smithsonian.  This film is in thousands of classroom across the nation.

Mary is willing to disclose her real height and true hair color - but not her golf handicap, particularly after her performance at the Drew Bledsoe Golf Tournament, where she played as a celebrity (who nobody knew). She was, however, heckled by real celebrities: NFL great Lynn Swann and producer Bobby Farrelly, for having brand new golf shoes.   She heckled back.
