[TALK OF THE TOWN]Movie planned about the NFL¡¯s Hines Ward, his mom and their story
December 17, 2008


Behind every successful man is his mother.

Hines Ward, the Korean-American NFL player for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and his mom, Kim Young-hee, have given the green light to a movie about their life.

Without Kim¡¯s support, few believe Ward would have become the sports star he is today. To earn a living, Kim had to work 16 hours a day working as a grocery clerk and maid.

The film is provisionally called ¡°My Mother.¡± CY Film said on Monday that the two gave permission for the film to be made last summer. By Lee Eun-joo
