Jessica McClure biography (bio): Jessica Morales nee McClure became famous at the age of 18 months after falling into a Midland, Texas well on October 14, 1987. Rescuers worked for 58 hours to free "Baby Jessica" from an 8-inch-wide pipe. The story gained worldwide attention (leading to some criticism as a media circus), and later became the subject of a 1989 ABC TV movie, Everybody's Baby: The Rescue of Jessica McClure, starring Patty Duke and Beau Bridges. As presented in the movie, a vital part of the rescue was the use of the then relatively new technology of waterjet cutting. The photograph of her being rescued fetched the 1988 Pulitzer prize for spot news photography to Scott Shaw of Odessa (Texas) American. Since her rescue, she has had 15 surgeries over the years. She has no first-hand memory of the incident. McClure graduated from Greenwood High School, near Midland, in May 2004. On January 28, 2006, Jessica married Daniel Morales at a Church of Christ in a small rural community outside of Midland, Texas. The couple met at a day-care center where Morales’s sister worked with the bride. Later that year, Jessica delivered a son, Simon. On May 30, 2007, USA Today named Jessica one of the "25 lives of indelible impact", ranking her at #22. When Jessica turns 25, she stands to be paid a trust of donations from "well-wishers", rumored to be in excess of $1,000,000. |
