The 3 Nancys: Nancy, Michelle & Amy Jo at the Premiere |

In 1999, VH-1 (Viacom/MTV networks) produced an original feature film
about us entitled,
”Sweetwater, a True Rock Story”. It deals deeply with Nancy’s personal life and how it evolved around the group.
Building on the enormous success of their behind-the-scenes documentaries,
VH-1 moved into the production of original movies. The movie premiered on the 30th anniversary of Woodstock, August 15, 1999. It incorporates a mixture of well-known musicians as well as TV & film personalities playing the real members including Amy Jo Johnson (the “Pink” Power Ranger, and as seen on the “Felicity” TV series) and Michelle Phillips (Mamas & Papas) both playing the young & older Nancy, respectively. Also on board are Frederick Forrest (playing the older Alex), as well as Kelli Williams (The Practice), and Adam Ant as Nancy’s producer. VH-1 also produced two documentaries featuring Sweetwater : "Where Are They Now- Woodstock," and "Behind The Movie-Sweetwater." All three of these productions are still aired occasionally, especially during Woodstock anniversaries. |
The movie was released on Video Tape and can still be found through some online retailers like Amazon.
