All-American Girl: The Mary Kay Letourneau Story is a 2000 American biographical crime drama television film based on Mary Kay Letourneau's repeated sexual abuse of her sixth-grade student Vili Fualaau. The film premiered on USA Network on January 18, 2000, and was followed with a special entitled Letourneau: Live, which featured interviews with Letourneau and others involved with the scenario.
The lead role of Letourneau was played by actress Penelope Ann Miller and filming took place in Toronto during 1999. Letourneau cooperated with the film's producers. As she could not receive profits from the film per the "Son of Sam law", her fees were placed in a trust fund for her children. As a way of developing her role, Miller corresponded with Letourneau over the telephone.
