Unhook the Stars is a 1996 drama film starring Gena Rowlands, Marisa Tomei, and Gerard Depardieu. The movie was directed by Nick Cassavetes, son of Gena Rowlands. Rowlands and Tomei both received SAG Award nominations for their performances. Filmed in the Sugarhouse neighborhood of Salt Lake City, Utah.
Rowlands plays Mildred, an older woman whose troubled twentysomething daughter, Annie (Moira Kelly), has just left home. Shortly after Annie leaves, Mildred befriends Monica (Tomei), a single mother from across the street, and Mildred eventually finds herself babysitter of Monica's young son, J.J. (Lloyd).
