Little Mo is a 1978 Americanmade-for-televisionbiographical film telling the life story ofMaureen Connolly[1] (September 17, 1934 – June 21, 1969), the 1950s American tennis player who was the first woman to win all fourGrand Slam tournaments during the same calendar year, before an accident ended her tennis career at age 19. It starsGlynnis O'Connor,Michael Learned,Anne Baxter,Mark Harmon (as her husbandNorman Brinker) andLeslie Nielsen.
It is strongly implied that Connolly's dramatic Wimbledon match versus Britain's Sue Partridge was the first singles match that Connolly played that year at the 1952 Wimbledon tournament. It was actually a fourth-round match.
The final scene, in which Connolly and her former coach (Eleanor Tennant) are dramatically reunited at a public tennis court near the end of Connolly's life, never occurred.
