FIRST LADY
Nancy stars with Corbin Bernsen in First Lady a romantic comedy. The plot: When the President dies in office, his widow, Kate (Nancy) agrees to help the bachelor VP, Taylor Danes (Benjamin Danes) in his bid for the presidency. Kate decides to run for First Lady (FLOTUS) on the ticket with VP Brooks to prevent the ditzy wife of her competitor (Tanya Christiansen) from destroying the dignity of FLOTUS. Meanwhile, Kate is unaware of a former teenage boyfriend (Corbin), now the king of a foreign nation, who comes to the White House in an effort to win her heart and present her with a much better proposal than she ever expected. This modern fairytale is about an autumn romance with a twist that will entertain the whole family.

Although this film is about the FLOTUS it is not political at all. People from both sides of the political spectrum can come together and enjoy this light-hearted movie. Nancy says she enjoyed playing Kate in this film because of the character’s strength, values, and integrity. She also likes the message of second chances which is featured in the movie because it offers hope to the audience. The film was produced by Renaissance Women Productions. First Lady is rated PG and directed, produced and written by Nina May. The release date for the film is February 14.

A CHRISTIAN IN HOLLYWOOD
Nancy shares that being a person of faith in Hollywood has been challenging at times. She pays close attention to the content of the TV show or movie in which she might be cast. At times she has turned down roles based on her value system. She views Hollywood as a mission field and feels acting allows her to be an ambassador for God. Her favorite role to play is a woman who is flawed or broken and experiences a redemptive situation or faces consequences for her choices. There have been times when she went for an audition and didn’t get the part but got to minister to another actor in the process. Although it may not seem like it at times, she says, “God is alive and at work in Hollywood.”

At this stage in life, Nancy says the roles for women her age are not as plentiful so she also produces and writes. Her short film Common Threads won Best Film at 2017 California Women’s Film Festival. Currently, she is in development with a slate of TV projects and feature films. Her directing debut, Damaged Goods, a feature film in collaboration with Asbury University, will be released in 2020. She is also a speaker for women's conferences, outreach events, churches, and non-profits. Her passion is to help others grasp their true identity and worth in Christ, break free from emotional and spiritual barriers that hinder, and discover wholeness and transformation.

NANCY’S CAREER
A native of Florida, Nancy graduated from the University of Florida and soon after was crowned Miss Florida in 1976. She went on to participate in the Miss America Pageant (1977).

Background of The 700 Club

The 700 Club television program is an outgrowth of a 1963 telethon in which CBN founder Pat Robertson asked that 700 viewers pledge $10 a month to meet CBN’s monthly budget. After several successful “700 Club” telethons, Pat developed a daily program in 1966 with a format of prayer and ministry coupled with telephone response. He named it The 700 Club, and the program steadily grew to attract audiences across America and in other nations.

Since CBN’s prayer line was first established in 1963, more than 2.8 million men, women and children have called to pray for salvation.
