Trivia
At the Emmy Awards ceremony, Barbara Stanwyck won the award for best actress for "The Thorn Birds" over Ann-Margaret for "Who Will Love My Children?" In accepting the award, Stanwyck said, "This is an honor. But the woman who should have won this award is sitting over there," pointing to Ann-Margaret. "I think she gave one of the finest, most beautiful performances I have ever seen. Ann-Margaret, you were superb." See more »Alternate Versions
Two different variations exist: the opening on-screen disclaimer is read by Ann-Margret, but in the international theatrical version, it's in a different alignment and her voice is not heard. The ending credits are featured over a still image of the Fray family and in the international version, the end credits roll against a simple black background. See more »Frequently Asked Questions

Ann-Margaret was unbelievable. I saw this film so many years ago but it had a huge impact on me. I cried throughout the whole movie. My eyes and face were so red
and swollen that it stayed on my face for a day. The next day in
school people thought someone in my family had died or I had
been beaten up. I have watched for it to be rerun on TV but can never find it. I have
tried to purchase it but I don't think it is possible. I would LOVE to
see it again and tape it. I would love to show it to my Death and Dying Class. Help?
