By Movieguide® Contributor
Actress and mother Jill Wagner will star in Great American Family’s newest film, BRINGING CHRISTMAS HOME.
Deadline reported, “ In BRINGING HOME CHRISTMAS, retired military officer, now Military History professor, Caroline Upton (Wagner) is enlisted to assist antiques store owner, Russell Carlisle (Greene) in finding the family of WWII Army officer Orin Newton before Christmas with the hope of returning precious personal artifacts – Orin’s dress uniform, medals, and a stack of love letters from his beloved Alice who waits for him back home. Epaulettes and insignia provide initial clues, though the search seems to dead end when Caroline discovers Orin was captured and listed as MIA. Caroline and Russell then search the love letters for clues as to what happened to Orin and whether he ever made it home to Alice.”
Wagner was nominated for the Movieguide® Grace Prize for her role in previous Christmas movies.
