MICHAEL J. FOX'S WIFE, TRACEY POLLAN TO PLAY BETH HOLLOWAY IN MOVIE


LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- The tragic tale of Natalee Holloway is coming to Lifetime and actress Tracey Pollan has been tapped to play the mother of the teen who vanished during a trip to Aruba, Access Hollywood has confirmed.


Pollan will star as Natalee’s mother, Beth Twitty, in the movie based on Twitty’s book, “Loving Natalee: A Mother’s Testament of Hope and Faith.” Pollan, who is married to Michael J. Fox, is best known for her stint alongside her husband as his recurring love interest Ellen Reed on the 1980s sitcom “Family Ties.” She has also had guest spots on “Spin City” and “Law & Order: SVU,” for which she received an Emmy nomination.


Pollan and Fox, who married in 1988, also shared the screen in the 1988 film “Bright Lights, Big City.”Based on the harrowing true story of Natalee which captured huge national media attention – an Alabama teen who vanished during her senior class trip to Aruba — the film will focus largely on Twitty’s relentless efforts to uncover the truth behind her daughter’s disappearance.


“The Natalee Holloway Story” will air in April 2009 on Lifetime Movie Network. Production is slated to begin in South Africa in January.

The popularity of this film will put Aruba back into the spotlight, it will greatly help the boycott campaign.

A picture has more boycoting power than a thousand blogs.

You have picked the right actor playing Joran. Joran knew how to cover his tracks by lying and denying. It is very obvious to the filmmaker that Joran is a sophisticated criminal and knows what he is doing today.

You forgot a picture of beotie, you remember him. He was the drug dealer that lived behind Nat's hotel room.You know, the one who watched the "party girls" every move. I bet he was the one who helped her get on the boat along the shore line. Ask Beth why she never talked with this dude about her daughter.
