TV Special for U. S. Holiday Airing

A new Church-produced Christmas special will be broadcast on television throughout the United States during the holiday season.

“Nora’s Christmas Gift” stars award-winning actresses Celeste Holm and Elizabeth Wilson. The one-hour production is the story of how one independent, longtime giver learns the importance of receiving service from others when she is robbed of her ability to do all the things she has always done.

“Nora’s Christmas Gift” was adapted from a story by Michael McLean, who also directed the production. Celeste Holm won an Oscar as best supporting actress in 1947. Elizabeth Wilson won a Tony award for her performance on Broadway in Sticks and Bones.

“Nora’s Christmas Gift” was produced by Bonneville Media Communications under the direction of the Church’s Missionary Department. It was shot at the Brigham Young University motion picture studio and on location at Temple Square and other sites.
