She's described as perfect for the role.
Meredith Henderson, known to legions of young TV viewers as the title character in YTV's The Adventures of Shirley Holmes, has been announced as the star of the new CBC-TV movie Shania, the life of singing superstar Shania Twain.
"She commands the camera and, can she sing? Yes!" said director Jerry Ciccoritti.
The movie is scheduled to begin filming Sept. 20 but Ciccoritti wasn't sure if it would be completed in time to air during the approaching 2004-2005 network season.
Henderson has made guest appearances on such shows as Queer as Folk and The Eleventh Hour, but won a Gemini in her early teens when she played a descendent of Sherlock Holmes who had sleuthing abilities of her own in the Shirley Holmes series. CP
