New Hallmark Channel Original Movie

LOS ANGELES: Cybill Shepherd stars in the new Hallmark Channel original movie Mrs. Washington Goes to Smith, about a 40-something woman who returns to college to finish her education. 

The movie has completed production and will air on Hallmark Channel in August 2009. The story follows Alice Washington (Shepherd), a recent divorcee and mother of two adult children. She enters Smith College as an "Ada Comstock Scholar," a group of women of various ages who didn’t finish their college educations and are now back to complete their degrees. Before long she befriends her young, troubled roommate, and also winds up in an unexpected, and off-limits, romance. 

Mrs. Washington Goes to Smith is being produced by Grossbart Productions in association with Silver Screen Pictures.
