 'Entertainment Tonight' talks up new film by producer Kim Waltrip
Judith Salkin • The Desert Sun • August 14, 2009
Actors Cloris Leachman, Olesya Rulin (Kelsi in “High School Musical”), Linda Gray (“Dallas”) and writer/director Dan Gordon were interviewed by “Entertainment Tonight” in a piece for “The Christmas Movie,” a film produced by Indian Wells resident Kim Waltrip.
The interview airs at 7 p.m. today on KMIR channel 6.
Gray stars as a former show girl and Leachman as a pig-obsessed woman who live in a trailer park and befriends Rulin, a pregnant teen running away from her privileged life.
The film was written with Gray in mind as its star, Gordon said in the ET piece.
In addition to the actors interviewed, “The Christmas Movie” also stars Elliott Gould, Cybill Shepherd, Gene Simmons, Della Reese and Lainie Kazan.
Executive producer on the film is Palm Springs resident Jim Casey.
The film is being shopped to two major independent film distributors, said Waltrip, who hopes to get it onto movie theater screens before the end of the year.
