When a chance encounter leads Beth to confront her history, her life is irrevocably altered, bringing her back to her Long Island childhood home to confront her past.

In a March cover story for the Hollywood Reporter, the Oscars co-host shared part of the motivation for the highly personal series: “My mother was quite destructive and did some extremely bad things, and I also felt extremely special and cherished growing up.”

She’s been nice throughout [the process of creating the program]. She’s like, ‘I’m 73; I accept responsibility for my faults,’ and that’s the thing: My mother is tremendously flawed, but I like her.”
