80 for Brady film inspired by real fans to air on TV Globo

The sports comedy film ‘80 for Brady’ is scheduled to air on Brazil’s TV Globo as part of the ‘Sessão da Tarde’ programming. The movie stars Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Rita Moreno, and Sally Field.

The plot follows four elderly friends and dedicated fans of quarterback Tom Brady who embark on a journey to Houston, Texas, to attend the 2017 Super Bowl. Along the way, the group faces unexpected situations while celebrating their friendship.

The production is inspired by a real-life fan club known as ‘Over 80 for Brady,’ which consisted of five women: Betty Pensavalle, Elaine St. Martin, Anita Riccio, Pat Marx, and Claire Boardman. These women gathered to watch New England Patriots games following the loss of their husbands.
