When Annie’s husband John dies of leukemia, Annie and her best friend Chris resolve to raise money for new furniture in the local hospital waiting room by posing nude for an “alternative” calendar with fellow members of the Women’s Institute. The news of the women’s charitable venture spreads like wildfire, and hordes of press soon descends on the small village. The calendar is a success, but Chris and Annie’s friendship is put to the test under the strain of their newfound fame. Based on the true story of eleven women who posed nude for a calendar to raise money for the Leukemia Research Fund, Calendar Girls contains tasteful nudity. A portion of ticket sales will be donated to the Harold Alfond Cancer Center.
