"R.S.V.P." BEAUTY,
NORA ZEHETNER, JOINS FOX FAMILY
Tyro Actress lands her first starring
role on the Fox Network’s new family drama "Septuplets".
Hollywood, CALIFORNIA — July 1, 2002
Fresh off a busy summer in which she appeared alongside
Ray Liota (Hannibal, Good Fellahs) and John Leguzamo in HBO’s
"Point of Origin" and lensed a previous series pilot for 20th
Century Fox, American Town co-starring Jonathan Taylor Thomas of
Home Improvement fame, Nora is finally poised to steal the hearts
of men and boys alike all over America.
Positioned as another ‘7th Heaven" or "Dawson’s
Creek", Septuplets is scheduled to debut on Fox midseason in
2002. Here is the official pitch from Fox:
You've heard of the Dionne quintuplets and the Thompson sextuplets,
but you're about to meet the Wilde septuplets. They were a challenge
for their parents when they were seven newborns (four boys and three
girls), but just imagine what life is like for them as they turn sixteen.
Known as the Wilde Seven, they live with their parents in their small,
upscale, family-run hotel situated on an idyllic beach in Southern California.
While the hotel serves as the backdrop for the family's personal adventures,
it also provides a never-ending stream of guests whose stories weave
into the Wildes' life experiences. With an unusual family like this,
every day is unpredictable, including the septuplets' 16th birthday -
a day that will include the traditional surprise party, as well as several
other surprises: a wedding that's on the rocks, a power outage, a heat
wave, a mermaid, a magical act of nature and a dreamy teenage hunk who
brings out the best in a serious sibling rivalry.
Earlier this year the Hollywood Reporter’s Zorianna
Kit lauded - "Zehetner Blooms as Russian Rose", after the sexy
teen from Texas landed yet another breakout opportunity in the feature
film "The Song of The Rose." Nora played a Jewish-American girl
(Rose) who is caught in the midst of the 1941 Nazi invasion of Russia during
a visit with distant relatives.
The nineteen year old Lolita certainly manages
to turn a head or three in Venice Filmwork’s Hitchcockian thriller
"R.S.V.P.", as the sultry niece of Jonathan Banks (WiseGuy)
and Grace Zabriskie (Gone in 60 Seconds).
All in all, it should be a race to finish line to see which project will
be the one to break this beauty out. We here at Filmworks, of course, have
our bets on a certain Hitchcockian comedy…
If you’re interested in meeting this rising star in person she is
currently scheduled to appear with "R.S.V.P." at the Malibu Film
Festival’s opening ceremonies as a guest model for Lilly Lawrence’s
charity runway fashion show on August 16th, 2002 at the Malibu
Castle, as well the LA premiere of "R.S.V.P." on Saturday August
17th, at 10:00 p.m. at the New Malibu Theater, 3822 Cross Creek
Rd., Malibu, CA 90265, (310)-452-1180.
