"My
production company is such a breath of fresh
air. It's such a relaxation period for
me from acting and singing. Really what
I've done is find three completely different
realms of the entertainment industry still
keep me doing what I love."

"THE CLIENT
LIST"
......a Texas Monthly
article about a hooker housewife, with plans of
starring in and producing a feature adaptation.
The article, which
was written by Katy Vine and appeared in the
January issue, tells the tale of a 22-year-old
housewife and former homecoming queen in Odessa,
Texas, who became one of the city's most popular
hookers until she, her co-workers and 68
prominent Odessa residents were arrested in a
scandal that shook the city.
The Made for TV cable Movie:
Inspired by a true story, this
Lifetime Original Movie is the story of Samantha Horton
(Jennifer Love Hewitt), a former Texas homecoming queen and
physical therapist. When both she and her husband, Rex
(Teddy Sears), are laid off from their jobs, Samantha
accepts an offer to work at a massage studio in a nearby
town, not realizing that the other staff members are
actually prostitutes who service a clientele of wealthy and
powerful businessmen. Eventually realizing what goes on
behind closed doors, but desperate to provide for her
family, Samantha goes along for the ride. But when the
police raid the business and Samantha is arrested, she ends
up as a key witness in the case — putting high-profile johns
in handcuffs and bringing a small Texas town to its knees.
Executive Producers Jennifer Love Hewitt,
Dannielle Thomas, Howard Braunstein, and Michael Jaffe; Produced
by Ted Bauman and Lynne Bespflug; Directed by Eric Laneuville
(Ghost Whisperer); and written by Suzanne Martin. The made
for cable TV movie aired Monday July 19, 2010 @ 9:00 PM eastern
