Bonnie Bedelia spent much time with now-famous Shirley Muldowney AKA "Cha Cha" - studying her mannerisms, before portraying her here.
It has been said that she sounded and acted just like her...
Released April 1st in the US.
Filmed in Arizona, California, and Washington.
Based on a true story.
The story: First woman drag car racer, Shirley Muldowney - who also was the only person to ever win the World championship more than one time.
From childhood, Shirley had always been fascinated by racing, instilled in her by her father - whom she loved dearly.
As an adult, she's married with a son before she starts traveling and competing in drag races, trying to qualify to race and after doing so, makes a very nice name for herself - with her husband and son along for the ride as her mechanics.
