Ralph Waite Stars in Original INSP Drama, “Old Henry”
30-minute special set to air on Thursday, October 24th at 7PM
An INSP original, Old Henry was initially produced as a series of six short-form programs airing as interstitials. The 30-minute version incorporates the entire series along with never before seen footage and exclusive interviews.
Rising star Rachel Hendrix plays Henry’s co-star, Jessica. Hendrix garnered national acclaim for her inaugural leading role in the 2011 award-wining film, October Baby.
Plot description:
Henry (Ralph Waite, The Waltons) is a man in his 80s dealing with the challenges of aging in a society that has moved on without him. When he makes a new friend in Jessica (Rachel Hendrix, October Baby), a woman in her 20s who shows him a respect and honor absent from the world around him, Henry finds a new perspective on life, and in turn becomes an inspiration to Jessica.

Yes, I am glad INSP has given us this nice story.
DeleteThis was extremely difficult to watch when it originally aired. Just trying to find the six short episodes interspersed amongst the other regularly scheduled programs was tough. I watched it online on the INSP website earlier this year and I thought it was really good! Definitely worth checking out if you haven't seen it!
ReplyDeleteI so agree! I watched the first ones but forgot at the end to catch the last few and the waiting in between for just a two minute spot was difficult. I tried to watch on-line afterwards, but my computer didn't cooperate with that so now I'll be glad to finally see the whole story. Thought others would enjoy it, too! Especially fans of The Waltons, like myself.
