Desc: Like Mother Like Son: The Strange Story of Sante and Kenny Kimes: Directed by Arthur Allan Seidelman. With Mary Tyler Moore, Robert Forster, Gabriel Olds, Jean Stapleton. Fans of Mary Tyler Moore may be taken aback by her performance in this fact-based drama, in which she plays a character far removed from her bubbly Laura Petrie and Mary Richards personae. She gets deep inside the role of Sante Kimes, whose childhood of abuse and exploitation leaves a legacy of amorality that she passes on to her son Kenny (Gabriel Olds).
