As Three Generations Who Follow Their Hearts to Find Themselves

          A feisty grandmother and her reluctant granddaughter embark on a spontaneous road trip, eventually finding themselves penniless, and one step ahead of the law, in "Annie’s Point,” a Hallmark Channel Original Movie.

          Determined to scatter her husband’s ashes to commemorate their 50^th wedding anniversary, Annie Eason (Betty White, “The Golden Girls”) decides to travel to the couple’s favorite spot on the coast.  Her granddaughter Ella (Amy Davidson, “8 Simple Rules … for Dating My Teenage Daughter”), lonely and unhappy at school, halfheartedly agrees to go along for the ride.  Entangled in a series of misadventures, free-spirited Annie inspires confidence in Ella, who begins to embrace her musical talent and see the beauty within herself.  Hot on their trail is Annie’s son and Ella’s father Richard (Richard Thomas, “Wonder Boys”), a no-nonsense businessman who insists that they give up their foolish dreams and come home.

          Betty White, six-time Emmy® Award winning actress (“The John Larroquette Show,” “The Golden Girls,” “Mary Tyler Moore,” “Life with Elizabeth”) and star of “Annie’s Point” is a Hollywood perennial – one of the industry’s most-beloved talents.
