Kathleen Quinlan and Michelle Hurd Join Jen Lilley in Christmas Movie ‘Holiday Hearts’
Kathleen Quinlan and Michelle Hurd have joined Jen Lilley in the cast of "Holiday Hearts," a holiday movie set to begin production in May.
Kathleen Quinlan and Michelle Hurd are joining Jen Lilley in the cast of “Holiday Hearts,” an upcoming holiday film set to release just in time for Christmas.
Quinlan is an Oscar-nominated actor known for her work in “Apollo 13,” “The Doors,” “How to Get Away With Murder” and “Prison Break,” while Hurd has starred in “Blindspot,” “Star Trek: Picard” and “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.”
“Holiday Hearts” is directed by Ross Kagan Marks and marks Lilley’s first holiday-themed film of the year. The story is based on Dana Volney’s novella, “A Heart for the Holidays,” which follows Silver Morgenstern (Lilley), a heart surgeon who returns to her hometown and meets a man with terminal illness at a local hospital. Quinlan will play Silver’s tough mother, and Hurd is set to play a veteran surgeon who goes toe-to-toe with Silver at work.
Production will begin in southern New Mexico starting this May, filming in the director’s hometown. Marks said in a statement that “directing ‘Holiday Hearts’ in my hometown of Las Cruces, New Mexico, is incredibly special for me. Being able to work alongside Jen Lilley, Michelle Hurd and Kathleen Quinlan to bring Bill True’s heartfelt script to life in a place that is so important to me and my family makes the experience even more meaningful.”
