Brittany to star in TV Movie “Tribute”!

Brittany is starring in a TV movie called “Tribute” – which will air on the Lifetime network on Saturday April 11, 2009 at 9 pm et/pt! Brittany plays the main character Cilla and some of her co-stars include Tippi Hedren and Jason Lewis.

Cilla McGowan is a former child star who has found more satisfying work restoring old houses. In search of a normal life, Cilla buys her grandmother’s farmhouse in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley to rescue it from ruin. Her hope for serenity is soon eclipsed by haunting dreams of her famous grandmother, who died of a supposed overdose in the house more than 30 years ago. Cilla soon forges a romantic relationship with Ford Sawyer, her handsome new neighbor, who ultimately comforts and protects her when her dark dreams and family secrets spiral into a real-life nightmare.
