    I’ve always liked Hallmark Hall of Fame movies, hopefully this one will live up to the potential. ;)

    This should really test Winona’s abilities as an actress. When faced with the challenge of portraying a real person, casting departments need to remember that actors will have to “act” sad, happy, or maybe even confused. This should prove to be a real challenge for Ms. Ryder.

      Mike,
      EW said she co-founded Al-Anon, not AA
      Contempt prior to investigation?, lol

        Mike was commenting on the erroneous statement regarding Bill, not Lois, Libby.
