Based on Living in the Labyrinth, the autobiography of Diana Friel McGowin, the made-for-TV Forget Me Never stars Mia Farrow as McGowin, a successful middle-aged legal secretary. Upon her realization that she is in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, Diana courageously attempts to hide her affliction from her husband, Jack (Martin Sheen), and her children, but it isn't long before the truth becomes painfully obvious. Seeking to bond with others suffering from Alzheimer's, Diana forms a strong and unassailable friendship with ex-professor Dr. Albert Morelli (Colm Feore), who is in a more advanced stage of the disease. Mia Farrow earned a Golden Globe nomination for her performance in Forget Me Never, which made its CBS network debut on October 3, 1999.
