A CHRISTMAS MEMORY (CBS 12/21/97) Patty Duke, Eric Lloyd, Piper Laurie, Jeffrey DeMunn, Anita Gillete, Jimmie F. Skaggs, Robert C. Treveiler

Set in 1934 Alabama, this award-winning adaptation of Truman Capote’s autobiographical story captures the tender and bittersweet bond between a young boy and his eccentric cousin.

Seven-year-old Buddy (Eric Lloyd) is left by his parents to live with his elderly spinster cousins, who have little experience with children. Among them is Sook (Patty Duke), a childlike and kind-hearted soul who becomes Buddy’s closest friend and companion.

Together, they share a series of heartwarming adventures in the rural South during the Great Depression. As Christmas approaches, their joy is overshadowed by the realization that their time together is fleeting—Buddy’s other cousins have decided to send him away to military school, forever altering their lives.

This nostalgic tale of friendship, loss, and the magic of childhood also features standout performances by Piper Laurie, Jeffrey DeMunn, Anita Gillette, Jimmie F. Skaggs, and Robert C. Treveiler.
