Blessings Summary
Director: Arvin Brown
Genres: Drama
Buried under several layers of old-age makeup and outfitted with thick horn-rims and a grey wig, Mary_Tyler_Moore stars in this TV-movie adaptation of Anna_Quindlen's novel -Blessings. Moore is cast as octogenarian Lydia Blessing, who lives on a huge country estate, imprisoned by her own bitter memories of the past (depicted in sepia-toned flashbacks, with Janaya_Stephens as the young Lydia). The old recluse comes out of her shell briefly to hire a new handyman, sullen ex-convict Skip Cuddy (Liam_Waite), who has plenty of his own emotional baggage. When Skip stumbles across an abandoned baby, he sets in motion a series of poignant events that will ultimately return both Lydia and him to the land of the living -- provided that they aren't stopped in their tracks by Lydia's disapproving daughter, Meredith (Kathleen_Quinlan), and judgmental housekeeper, Jennifer (China_Chow). Filmed on location in Nova Scotia, Blessings first aired October 5, 2003, on CBS. Hal Erickson, Rovi
