Margaret Anne Florence, class of 1997, an actress living in New York, has a new film, The Mighty Macs, which opens in theaters nationwide this Friday, October 21st.
The film tells the true story of the first women's NCAA championship basketball team from 1972, Immaculata College. She plays the point guard of the team, Rosemary Keenan. Her years playing Varsity basketball for Ashley Hall were obviously very helpful in getting this role. Margaret Anne says, "I truly believe my time at Ashley Hall helped me connect with this role and this great story about a group of girls making their dreams come true." It's a great, G rated family film with an inspirational message for young women.
Mighty Macs is playing in several theaters in Charleston, and The Post and Courier ran the following brief about Margaret Anne Florence:
