#LISA HARTMAN SERIES#

Series television, of course, is where she established her reputation. вЂњIf something came along that was interesting, IвЂ™d do it in a minute,вЂќ she says.

There are so many great actresses and so few movies made every year, so few scripts that I want to do.вЂќ SheвЂ™d love to go back to a series, though. IвЂ™ve learned a lot through my work.вЂќ Lately, Hartman Black has been doing about two television movies a year, вЂњand IвЂ™m grateful for that,вЂќ she says. But thatвЂ™s whatвЂ™s come to me, itвЂ™s whatвЂ™s popular and IвЂ™ve liked the ones IвЂ™ve done. вЂњItвЂ™s not my goal as an actress to look for scripts that educate people. вЂњWhat she does to save that child is amazing.Women come home from the hospital with the wrong baby all the time. When she finds her biological child some years later, she discovers heвЂ™s being abused. вЂњI feel good when I can tell someone a story and enlighten them, make them aware of how precious life is and how we have to look out for ourselves and our children and our families.ThatвЂ™s the message in a lot of these movies.вЂќ A year later, in Someone ElseвЂ™s Child, she played a woman who came home from the hospital with the wrong baby. The child actually died of a rare disease. вЂњI think people are astounded by some of the absurd situations and they turn to each other during commercials and say, вЂCan you believe this is a true story?вЂ™ вЂњThe last few IвЂ™ve done are about women whoвЂ™ve been dealt horrendous blows and been very strong and taken the bull by the horns and solved their problems.вЂќ In 1993вЂ™s Without a Kiss Good-bye, for example, she played a young mother wrongly convicted of poisoning her baby.

вЂњFrom what IвЂ™ve read, these movies seem to be most popular with viewers,вЂќ she says. Yes, it is another one of those based-on-a-true-incident movies the networks thrive on. It is about a young motherвЂ™s desperate search for her ill son, who has been kidnapped by her ex-husband. Of course, itвЂ™s no secret that she actually did go on to become a big star, of two television series and many made-for-TV films, most recently Have You Seen My Son? (which airs Monday at 8 p.m. вЂњI think it was actually the sixth grade, though,вЂќ she adds. Lisa - now married to country heartthrob Clint Black, and using the name Lisa Hartman Black - remembers the letter well. вЂњShe said,вЂ™IвЂ™m going to be a starвЂ™ from the time she was 4 or 5 years old.вЂќ When Lisa Hartman finished the fifth grade вЂњshe sent the teacher a letter saying how much she enjoyed being in his class,вЂќ recalls her mother, Jonni Hartman.The letter also said вЂњsomeday IвЂ™m going to be a big star and you can say you taught me in the fifth grade.вЂќ вЂњShe always knew what she wanted,вЂќ Jonni says.
