The sex therapist and pop culture icon stars in a new documentary about her life and career.
Westheimer had no reservations about the documentary delving into her painful past.
Once I decided to do it, I knew exactly what I wanted to show.
And it came out beautifully.
(She never saw her parents again.)
Initially, Westheimer wasnt completely sold on the animation idea.
I didnt want them to make me look like Pinocchio, she says.
I was worried, but I didnt have to worry.
Thats exactly right, she agrees.
I didnt tell them to do that in the animation, they found it.
I wanted to show what Yad Vashem can do, she says.
I hope we get a lot of awards!
If we get it, wonderful.
