| Comments: | From the time she contracted polio in 1949 in Brooklyn which confined her to a wheelchair, and was deemed a fire hazard at age 5 and told to stay home, Heumann has been a crusader for the rights of the disabled. |
Description: The movie will explore her efforts to plan the 504 Sit In in San Francisco, an important protest that led to standardizing rights for the disabled. She went on to a distinguished career, including serving in the Clinton Administration as the Assistant Secretary for the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services in the Department of Education.

** Please note the Up-To-Date Actor (UTDA) is not a submission/audition service, meaning no one has listed a specific audition or request for someone to submit. UTDA is an information resource only.
UTDA provides you with information on what projects are currently casting and who is casting. If you are specifically right for a project (based on your demographics and skills) you can use the information on our site to create what we call a “specific general submission.” When available, we provide the submission policy and preference on the casting director’s page but keep in mind since the pandemic all communication should be digital.
