I think Ellen Burstyn gives the best performance in this television remake. Heather Graham is wrongly casted as Corrinne Foxworth though! She does do a fine job though overall. The beginning sets up the past as a loving nuclear family. When their father dies, the family becomes desperate financially. So they go Virginia where they learn the truth about family secrets. They leave quickly without telling anybody of their plans; board a train under another name; get off in the middle of the night at a closed train station; they walk to Foxworth Estate. There grandmother doesn't welcome them with open arms. She has stay unknown to the servants and their grandfather of their very existence. The children do an admirable acting job despite difficult material. Overall I'm impressed with this updated version.
