A young girl, Fennis Wilson (Sally Ann Howes), is cast in a film which launches her career and makes her an overnight star – the very thing her older sister desperately wants.
But stardom is the furthest thing from 12-year-old Fennis' mind; she is introspective and intellectual and has other goals for her life. When the hit film falls in her lap, it creates a situation that threatens to tear the family apart, while Fennis just wants everyone to be happy – especially herself. Ronald Shiner's character (Joe) plays a decisive role
Thursday's Child was the first film for Howes. It was written and directed by Rodney Ackland, who was a neighbor of hers. Howes auditioned and was chosen for the part after over two hundred auditions of other girls.
