TV Castings:
By NELLIE ANDREEVA | Wednesday September 15, 2010



-- Patty Duke and Alex Frnka have joined Lifetime's telepic Unanswered Prayers.

Produced by Sony, the movie based on the Garth Brooks song, centers on a couple (Eric Close, Samantha Mathis) who have their lives turned upside down by a woman (Madchen Amick) who returns home to their small town.



Duke, repped by Mitchell K. Stubbs and Assoc. and Precision Entertainment, plays Mathis's mother.

Frnka, repped by Innovative and Precision, plays the girlfriend of the couple's son.

Anything Patty touches becomes something better. I am sure this will kick the show up a few notches. She is vibrant, giving, versatile in her talent. She will be a fine addition.

I don't really bother much anymore with modern television, but when I run across Patty in something, I'll always stop and take notice! She's such an amazing talent. Still a bit jarring to realize she's now graduated into senior/character roles, but her on-screen presence, commanding a scene, is still that of a master. Last thing I saw her in was some western/romance thingie on Hallmark, and she looked GREAT in period garb.

Unanswered Prayers airs on Lifetime tonight (Nov. 29th) at 9pm et/pt.
