April 3, 1994 - 1995

Shot entirely on location in the Great Smoky Mountains, CHRISTY, based on the international bestseller by Catherine Marshall, is the story of a courageous young woman who breaks through walls of fear and generations of darkness to bring a sheltered people into the 20th Century, touching their hearts… and changing their world.

Stewart Finlay-McLennan is the aggressive but loyal Dr. Neil MacNeill, Cutter Gap’s only physician and the one man who truly understands the strange ways of the mountain people. Oscar-nominee Tess Harper is Fairlight Spencer, a modest woman who reaches out to Christy and shows her the beauty of their simple life.

Kellie Martin of Life Goes On is Christy Huddelston, the spirited heroine who runs away from her comfortable city life to the forbidding backwoods of Cutter Gap, Tennessee…with no idea of the challenges, hardships and dangers that lie ahead.

Four-time Emmy Award-winner Tyne Daly (Cagney and Lacey) is Miss Alice Henderson, the strong-willed Quaker missionary who becomes Christy’s mentor and protector. Randall Batinkoff is the Reverend David Grantland, a handsome and idealistic young minister who fights to hide his feelings for Christy.
