A Woman of Substance, Episode 2: Fighting for the Dream

"Fighting for the Dream" was the third and final installment of the six-hour TV miniseries A Woman of Substance (see separate entries for information of episode one, "Nest of Vipers", and episode two "The Secret is Revealed."). Expanding her business activities beyond the small town of Leeds, former serving girl Emma Hart (Jenny Seagrove) seeks vengeance on the aristocratic family that has wronged her. She also falls in love with handsome Major Paul McGill (Barry Bostwick). When last we see Emma, she is played by Deborah Kerr, who was Emmy-nominated for her performance. When it was first syndicated to local TV stations on November 26, 1984, A Woman of Substance was also offered in a two-part version, each episode running three hours. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
