Dolphin's prosthetic tale comes to the big screen
Looking for a family-friendly flick to enjoy this weekend? The true story of Winter, an injured Florida dolphin, hits theaters this week.
"The Early Show" introduced Winter, a baby Atlantic bottlenose dolphin, four years ago. She was found off the coast of Florida in 2005, tangled in a crab trap. When she arrived at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, Winter was in dire shape.
Winter plays herself in "Dolphin Tale," a family-friendly 3-D movie starring Harry Connick Jr., Morgan Freeman, Ashley Judd and Kris Kristofferson, opening Sep. 23, 2011.
