Yesterday’s “06880” looked back at Cynthia Gibb. In 1986, she played fellow Westporter Jean Donovan in the 1986 movie “Salvador” about the rape and murder of 4 Catholic lay missionaries.
Today’s “06880” looks at her latest project.
Tonight at 8, the Hallmark Channel airs “Broadcasting Christmas.” The film stars Gibb — and fellow Westporter Melissa Joan Hart. (Dean Cain — “Superman” — plays a love interest.)
“Broadcasting Christmas” — about the search for a TV host in the days before a holiday telethon — is set partly in Westport.
But you won’t know it when you see it. Shooting took place in Fairfield, Bridgeport and Stamford.
The film crew stayed in Norwalk. Westport did not benefit at all from the millions of dollars spent making a film about our town.
And to all a good night…

Nice job, Patrice.
