Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This 1995 TV movie quietly gender-swapped Scrooge decades before it became trendy, with Susan Lucci bringing her iconic soap opera energy to the role.
Molly Parker plays both Francine (Ebbie's sister) AND the Ghost of Christmas Future — apparently death itself is just another family obligation.
