Plot

Part of the Lifetime Television's Intimate Portrait series, this video takes a look at film and television actress Christine Lahti. Narrated by friend and fellow actress Mary Kay Place, this documentary starts with Lahti's growing-up in Michigan as one of six children. Her professional career led her to Broadway and then on to Hollywood, where she started out in TV-movies and eventually moved to the big screen, only to move back to the small screen in 1995 when she joined the cast of the TV medical drama Chicago Hope. The documentary focuses on her struggle with Hollywood glamour, her career after age 40, and her Hollywood marriage, told, in part, through interviews with the actress herself, along with family and co-workers, including Goldie Hawn and Ted Danson. Also on the video is home movie footage and clips from her many TV and film roles. ~ Cecilia Cygnar, All Movie Guide
