About Willa
A truck-stop waitress, determined to make a better life for her young children after being abandoned by her husband, leaves hash-slinging behind her to embark on a new career as a trucker in the rig her late father used to drive.
Directed by Joan Darling, Claudio Guzmán, Willa leans on a strong ensemble — Deborah Raffin, Clu Gulager, Cloris Leachman — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1979.
