Goldie’s Fairy Tale Come True!


GoldieHoffman3Goldie Hoffman
wraps a role in Once Upon A Time, Episode 603.

Once Upon a Time is an American fairy tale dramatic series that premiered on October 23, 2011, on ABC. It has been renewed for a 6th season.

The series takes place in the fictional seaside town of Storybrooke, Maine, in which the residents are actually characters from various fairy tales and other stories that were transported to the “real world” town and robbed of their original memories by the Evil Queen Regina (Lana Parrilla), using a powerful curse obtained from Rumplestiltskin (Robert Carlyle). The residents of Storybrooke, where Regina is mayor, have lived an unchanging existence for 28 years, unaware of their own lack of aging. The town’s only hope lies with a bail-bonds person named Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison), the daughter of Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Prince Charming (Josh Dallas), who was transported from the Enchanted Forest to our world via a magic wardrobe as an infant before she could be cursed. As such, she is the only person who can break the curse and restore the characters’ lost memories. She is aided by her son, Henry (Jared S. Gilmore), with whom she has recently reunited after giving him up for adoption upon his birth, and his Once Upon a Time book of fairy tales that holds the key to breaking the curse. Henry is also the adopted son of Regina, providing a source of both conflict and common interest between the two women.

Episodes usually have one segment that details the characters’ past lives that, when serialized, adds a piece to the puzzle about the characters and their connection to the events that preceded the curse and its consequences. The other, set in the present day, follows a similar pattern with a different outcome but also offers similar insights.

Lucifer is faced with another surprise when he meets an intriguing homicide detective named Chloe, who appears to possess an inherent goodness — unlike the worst of humanity, to which he is accustomed. Suddenly, Lucifer starts to wonder if there is hope for his soul.

Woodside as Amenadiel, an angel sent to L.A. to persuade Lucifer to return to hell; and Rachael Harris as Linda, Lucifer’s therapist.

Perhaps Deb will find out whodunnit!

DeborahFinkel2Deborah Finkel books role in LifeTime MOW, JonBenet.

Lifetime is joining the JonBenet Ramsey craze with the TV movie JonBenet, starring Eion Bailey as the detective who originally investigated the case.

Starting with the 911 call and investigation led by Detective Steve Thomas (Bailey), JonBenét will examine what happened in December 1996, when Ramsey (Payton Lepinski) was found beaten and strangled in the family’s basement. The film also will explore new information and offer what Lifetime calls a fresh look at the case and theories surrounding the unsolved slaying.

Michel Gill (Mr. Robot) and Julia Campbell (Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion) will star as John and Patsy Ramsey. The movie is set to premiere in the fall.

JonBenet is produced by EveryWhere Studios and Brightlights. Julia Eisenman (Lies & Alibis), Tom Mazza (My Sweet Audrina), Anne Carlucci (Taken From Me: The Tiffany Rubin Story), Shawn Williamson (Wayward Pines) and Jamie Goehring (Toni Braxton: Unbreak My Heart) executive produce. Jason Lapeyre (Restless Virgins) directs from a script written by Brian L. Ross (Love by Chance).

The TV movie comes as the 20th anniversary of the former child beauty queen’s death is rapidly approaching. CBS is set to examine the case in the fall, with its limited docuseries helping to open the network’s new broadcast season. Investigation Discovery also is taking on the unsolved case with a three-night series due in September, and the feature film Casting JonBenet also is in the works.

jonbenet-ramsey-murder-750x522-1460136045Ramsey was found slain in her Boulder, Colo., home in 1996. Police found her body in the basement of the family’s home eight hours after she had been reported missing. The 6-year-old was found struck on the head and strangled. Colorado officials initially suspected Ramsey’s parents and her older brother of being involved in her death; the family was partially exonerated in 2003 when DNA taken from the victim’s clothing suggested they were not involved. Her parents were completely cleared in July 2008. A year later, the Boulder Police Department took the case back from the D.A. and reopened the investigation. After several grand jury hearings, Ramsey’s slaying remains unsolved.
