It&#8217;s a bit sad but very enjoyable. The characters are great. I love Kelly Hu, anyway (from shows like &#8220;Arrow&#8221; and &#8220;Warehouse 13&#8221;), and she&#8217;s really sympathetic as the sad woman, Brenda Lee, who finds out she has cancer. It&#8217;s a heartwarming tale, and you won&#8217;t be disappointed.\u00a0 Sylvia Kwan is great as her daughter, Talia. Brenda finds Talia, whom she gave up when she was a baby.\u00a0 Shannen Doherty plays the woman who raised Talia. The story is all about how Talia gives Brenda reasons to fight her cancer by creating a bucket list.<\/p>\n<p>The women were really fun on the panel. I hope you enjoy it!<\/p>\n<p>TANYA LOPEZ:\u00a0 Hi, everyone.\u00a0 I\u2019m Tanya Lopez, EVP of scripted content for Lifetime, and thank you all for joining us today.\u00a0 As you saw, we have a lot happening this fall, as the leading producer of original movies it\u2019s exciting for all of us to be able to continue to create these films despite the pandemic and, no, it\u2019s not easy, but the team really makes it look that way.\u00a0 I\u2019m so proud of the incredible talent that we have here today; that we brought together to tell these stories both in front and behind the camera.\u00a0 We have Shannen Doherty starring not in one but two Lifetime movies in the month of October.\u00a0 The remake of \u201cDying to Belong\u201d with Favour Onwuka and Jenika Rose, executive produced by Danielle von Zerneck, and \u201cList of a Lifetime\u201d from director Roxy Shih in which Shannen stars alongside Kelly Hu and Sylvia Kwan; but that\u2019s not all.\u00a0 Our beloved and talented Shannen also directed the special content that follows the film as part of our Stop Breast Cancer for Life campaign.\u00a0 It\u2019s amazing and, Shannen, I know you\u2019re out there.\u00a0 You\u2019re going to be directing more for us.\u00a0 Let\u2019s start with off with \u201cList of a Lifetime.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>MODERATOR:\u00a0 Hello, everybody, and welcome.\u00a0 Our first panel for today is \u201cList of a Lifetime.\u201d\u00a0 Please welcome stars Kelly Hu, Shannen Doherty, Sylvia Kwan and director Roxy Shih.\u00a0 Thank you so much for joining us, ladies.\u00a0 Our first question today is going to be from Jamie Ruby.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Hi, guys.\u00a0 Thanks for talking to us today.\u00a0 What I wanted to know, and this is kind of, I guess, the obvious question, but what\u2019s on your bucket list for all of you?<\/p>\n<p>KELLY HU:\u00a0 Oh.\u00a0 Mine is literally pages and pages long.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been acquiring a bucket list for over thirty years now, so it would take up days to tell you about it.<\/p>\n<p>SYLVIA KWAN:\u00a0 I definitely have a lot on my bucket list, too.\u00a0 I think Kelly and I are very similar in that way.\u00a0 I definitely want to backpack the Chilkoot Mountains.\u00a0 Mount Whitney is on my bucket list.\u00a0\u00a0 I was supposed to do it last year, but didn\u2019t get to do it. \u00a0Sky diving, I want to go sky diving.\u00a0 I want to make a movie.\u00a0 Oh, I just did.<\/p>\n<p>(Laughter.)<\/p>\n<p>ROXY SHIH:\u00a0 Yes. \u00a0Get it, girl.<\/p>\n<p>SYLVIA KWAN:\u00a0 Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>ROXY SHIH:\u00a0 I wanted to go to Iceland with my best friend for our ten year friendivarsary, but then COVID hit, and then that didn\u2019t happen.\u00a0 I really want to see the aurora borealis.\u00a0 I like anything that just sort of helps us appreciate nature and all the amazing gifts that she allows us to see in certain moments at the time and to take care of our environment.\u00a0 So that\u2019s probably my biggest one yet.<\/p>\n<p>SHANNEN DOHERTY:\u00a0 I have no bucket list.\u00a0 I think, for me, I just think a bucket list is odd in my particular situation, because it means that I\u2019m sort of trying to check things off before my time runs out.\u00a0 So I\u2019 m very much like there\u2019s no bucket list because I\u2019m going to be the longest living person with cancer.\u00a0 And so I guess it would just be, if I had to say one, it would just be living.\u00a0 Like that\u2019s the only thing that\u2019s on my list at this point.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Thank you so much.<\/p>\n<p>MODERATOR:\u00a0 Thank you.\u00a0 Our next question is going to be from Suzanne from TVMEG.COM.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Hi, great to see you all today.\u00a0 Kelly, I\u2019ve seen you in a lot of shows where you\u2019re a very strong, literally, a kick-ass woman, and you\u2019re very passive in this show, at least for &#8212; in this movie for a long time.\u00a0 Was that difficult for you?\u00a0 Or how did you go about processing that?<\/p>\n<p>KELLY HU:\u00a0 I think it really was.\u00a0 It was definitely a different kind of character for me.\u00a0 I never get to play these kind of characters.\u00a0 I think everybody always sees me as, you know the martial arts girl kicking butt, but kicking cancer\u2019s ass, I think, is the hardest role that I\u2019ve had to take on so far.\u00a0 I mean, this was really &#8212; It was a role that I had the most difficulty preparing for, and it had the biggest payoff at the end.\u00a0 It was absolutely amazing and so thankful to be able to do something like this.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 All right.\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>MODERATOR:\u00a0 Thank you.\u00a0 Our next question is from Jamie Steinberg.<\/p>\n<p>KELLY HU:\u00a0 Is the mute button on maybe?<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Oh, excuse me about that.<\/p>\n<p>KELLY HU:\u00a0 No worries.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Such a pleasure to speak with all of you.\u00a0 Shannen, this was such a labor of love and a personal story, actually, probably close to your heart since you did have breast cancer.\u00a0 Were there any emotional moment for you while you were advising the stars, or maybe when you were behind the camera?<\/p>\n<p>SHANNEN DOHERTY:\u00a0 Well, first, Roxy was our wonderful, amazing director and leader for \u201cList of a Lifetime,\u201d and I didn\u2019t have to give anybody advice because between Roxy and these beautiful ladies who did such an amazing job with their own preparation process.\u00a0 They knew their characters.\u00a0 They knew the story.\u00a0 They did cancer proud, because they did all their due diligence.\u00a0 I had the easiest job.\u00a0 I got to show up for four days and be a part of their world.\u00a0 So I really I did nothing.\u00a0 They did everything.<\/p>\n<p>KELLY HU:\u00a0 No.\u00a0 Shannen, you showed up.\u00a0 Oh, my God.\u00a0 You were amazing.<\/p>\n<p>SHANNEN DOHERTY:\u00a0 So, I mean &#8212; thank you, and we all showed up.\u00a0 And, honestly, it\u2019s, for me, this was truly like an unbelievable pleasure to be a part of, and I was blown away every second that I got to work with these amazing ladies.<\/p>\n<p>ROXY SHIH:\u00a0 Thank you, Shannen.\u00a0 Love you.<\/p>\n<p>(Laughter.)<\/p>\n<p>KELLY HU:\u00a0 Yes, we love you.<\/p>\n<p>SHANNEN DOHERTY:\u00a0 Somebody else has got to talk.\u00a0 I\u2019m like ohhh.<\/p>\n<p>MODERATOR:\u00a0 Okay.\u00a0 We\u2019re going to move on to our next question from Jay Bobbin.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Hello.\u00a0 My question is for Shannen, too.\u00a0 Shannen, that weekend, this kind of bundles \u201cDying to Belong\u201d in also, that is quite a weekend for you in many ways, and it kind of represents everything Lifetime is: serious, socially-minded dramas, also the content you directed to go along with that, plus also what we more technically call a Lifetime movie with \u201cDying to Belong,\u201d that type of film. Can you talk a little bit about running the gamut of what Lifetime is in a single weekend among all these projects?<\/p>\n<p>SHANNEN DOHERTY:\u00a0 I mean, I think what\u2019s amazing about Lifetime is that they really support women, and they do support social issues from this movie about breast cancer to my other movie that\u2019s really about bullying and like what society, the pressure that society can put on young people today, and I think working with a company like Lifetime and a studio like Lifetime is that you feel very supportive and very, very, very nurtured and, more importantly, you feel heard, and I think women all around the world who tune in also feel heard.\u00a0 It\u2019s their movies connecting with people at the end of the day.\u00a0 I had no idea I was doing two Lifetime movies, and I\u2019m really honored that they both ended up on Lifetime.\u00a0 I couldn\u2019t be more thrilled to be a part of this family.

Every day.\u00a0 No.\u00a0 I wouldn\u2019t say give it up.\u00a0 And, thank you, it has been colorful.\u00a0 I\u2019m going to take that as a big compliment, because I would hate to think that I was beige, so knowing that my career\u2019s been colorful is &#8212; I\u2019d like to think that I\u2019ve chosen projects that are relatable but that are different that challenge me as an actor.\u00a0 And there were times where it got a little rough as far as the press goes, and that can feel &#8212; you can feel a bit defeated, absolutely, but that hasn\u2019t been in so long.\u00a0 I think, I mean, it\u2019s like thirty years ago, so.\u00a0 I haven\u2019t felt that in probably like thirty years, and now I just sort of look at like there\u2019s all these new chapters and new opportunities for my career hat I\u2019m super excited about and just ready to keep charging forward.<\/p>\n<p>(Laughter.)<\/p>\n<p>SHANNEN DOHERTY:\u00a0 Roxy.<\/p>\n<p>ROXY SHIH:\u00a0 Yes, bitch.\u00a0 Get it.<\/p>\n<p>MODERATOR:\u00a0 Thank you.\u00a0 Our next question is from Francine Brokaw.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Hi, yes.\u00a0 For Shannen, you\u2019ve popped up a lot on shows that have to do with cancer.\u00a0 I know you\u2019ve had your struggles with it, I have as well.\u00a0 Have you gone through any point in your life that says I don\u2019t want to hear the word?\u00a0 I don\u2019t want to watch anything?\u00a0 I just want to ignore it for the time being?<\/p>\n<p>SHANNEN DOHERTY:\u00a0 I think this is the first acting thing I\u2019ve done about cancer, because I\u2019ve been pretty careful about bringing the acting into that world.\u00a0 But, again, when I read the script, and I found out who all was involved, and I felt like I had to be a part of it, and I was super honored to be a part of it and, again, like what Kelly has been talking about, like, the sisterhood, that made this film even more special.\u00a0 Like, yes, the topic is special, and everybody\u2019s performances are special, but the sisterhood behind the scenes sort of blows everything else out of the water for me, personally.\u00a0 And, no, I mean, I don\u2019t &#8212; I feel like I have a responsibility in my more public life, which I separate from my acting life, I feel like I have a responsibility to talk about cancer and to perhaps educate people more to let people know that people with stage four are very much alive and very active and more than capable of working, and just to sort of raise money and spread awareness.\u00a0 So I don\u2019t really get sick of it and in my very close-knit quarters it doesn\u2019t really come up.\u00a0 My husband says that you would never know that I had cancer.\u00a0 I don\u2019t ever complain.\u00a0 I don\u2019t really talk about it.\u00a0 It\u2019s just it\u2019s part of life at this point.<\/p>\n<p>MODERATOR:\u00a0 Thank you.\u00a0 We have time for one more question.\u00a0 That\u2019s going to be Suzanne.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Oh, hi.\u00a0 Who wrote the movie? And do you know why she named the main character Brenda Lee?\u00a0 I just noticed that as I was watching.<\/p>\n<p>KELLY HU:\u00a0 You want to take that, Roxy?<\/p>\n<p>ROXY SHIH:\u00a0 Yeah.\u00a0 The script was written by Jessica Landry.\u00a0 Jessica and I haven\u2019t connected.\u00a0 Like basically the script was given to me by Autumn, our amazing producer, and I read the script.\u00a0 I was really burnt out at the time.\u00a0 I read like fifteen pages into it, and I\u2019m like I just have to do this.\u00a0 So I connected with her and I\u2019m just like, \u201cYo, girl, really great job on this. \u00a0Hey, we shot it.\u00a0 It was amazing.\u201d \u00a0And I think that we\u2019re going to connect in the future, but I think the Brenda Lee thing was probably super random.\u00a0 Does that have a personal reason with you?<\/p>\n<p>KELLY HU:\u00a0 Shannen.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 With me?<\/p>\n<p>ROXY SHIH:\u00a0 Yeah.\u00a0 Or is it &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Oh, no.\u00a0 Just the famous singer Brenda Lee &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>SHANNEN DOHERTY:\u00a0 Brenda Lee.<\/p>\n<p>ROXY SHIH:\u00a0 Oh, no.\u00a0 I don\u2019t think &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>KELLY HU:\u00a0 Oh, that Brenda Lee.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Oh, I\u2019m probably too old.\u00a0 Never mind.<\/p>\n<p>ROXY SHIH:\u00a0 No, maybe I should have &#8212; Oh, wait.\u00a0 Kelly, we should have rethought your character.<\/p>\n<p>KELLY HU:\u00a0 I know.<\/p>\n<p>(Laughter.)<\/p>\n<p>ROXY SHIH:\u00a0 We didn\u2019t do our research apparently, so.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Thank you.\u00a0 That\u2019s okay.\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>ROXY SHIH:\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>MODERATOR:\u00a0 Thank you all for taking the time to be on our panel today, ladies.<\/p>\n<p>MORE INFO:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mylifetime.com\/movies\/list-of-a-lifetime\">Preview<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Presented by Native Deodorant,\u00a0<strong><em>List of a Lifetime<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0premieres\u00a0<strong><u>October 10<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0at 8pm ET\/PT\u00a0<\/u><\/strong>and tells the story of\u00a0Brenda Lee (Hu) who\u2019s prompted to look for the daughter she gave up for adoption decades ago after a breast cancer diagnosis. \u00a0After finding Talia (Kwan) and sharing her devasting news, Talia convinces Brenda to make a bucket list of everything she wants to do, promising to help her complete everything on the list.\u00a0 While keeping Brenda a secret from her adoptive mother Diana (Doherty), Talia grows closer to the mother she never knew.\u00a0\u00a0Meanwhile, Brenda discovers a meaningful relationship with Talia she didn\u2019t know she needed, and a reason to fight for her life.<\/p>\n<p>Following the movie, the aftershow<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong><em>Beyond the List with Shannen Doherty\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>will debut, featuring exclusive conversations with Doherty and the movie\u2019s cast, new never-before-seen photos during Doherty\u2019s breast cancer journey, as well as information from top oncologists Dr. Elise Port and Dr. Philomena McAndrew.\u00a0\u00a0The aftershow also features intimate testimonials from within the A+E Networks family featuring employees affected by breast cancer.<\/p>\n<p>Proofread and Edited by <a href=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/index.php\/2020\/06\/20\/biobrenda\/\">Brenda<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/index.php\/interviews\/\">Back to the Primetime Articles and Interviews Page<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-17843\" src=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/listofalifetime2.png\" alt=\"Stars of &quot;List of a Lifetime&quot; on Lifetime\" width=\"352\" height=\"248\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/listofalifetime2.png 426w, https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/listofalifetime2-300x211.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 352px) 100vw, 352px\" \/><\/p>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- TVMEGBODY -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1056557952271337\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8801203268\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TV Interview!
