Audrey's Rain The Hallmark Channel - 2003
Jean stars opposite her husband, Richard Gilliland, in this Hallmark Channel original movie. Audrey's Rain is the story of Audrey, a single woman whose sister commits suicide, leaving her with two motherless children to look after. Audrey already mothers her mentally challenged adult sister. The addition of looking after her niece and nephew puts Audrey on emotional overload until a long-lost love reappears. Rediscovering love and an essence for living allows Audrey to break free from the emotional baggage of her family’s tragedies to embrace life, love and family in earnest. Jean and Richard each share their experiences working on the film in this Audrey's Rain Interview courtesy of the Hallmark Channel.
"Smart plays Audrey with brash, chip-on-the-shoulder bravado. She can slather her words with either acid and honey -- sometimes within a heartbeat of each other." -- The Wichita Eagle "Jean Smart provides a strong performance as Audrey. She captures the confusion and longing that plague Audrey as she tries to come to terms with the many twists in her life. Smart's best scenes are with Richard Gilliland. Their scenes together are effortless and it is easy to see the romantic connection they have together." -- The Tribune Review
