Synopsis
Carol Burnett, one of America's all-time entertainment greats, is teamed with her real-life daughter in HOSTAGE - a tense mystery-melodrama. Bonnie Lee (Carrie Hamilton) is a young girl who is falsely imprisoned for attempted murder only to escape after receiving death threats from her deranged father (Leon Russom). Martha (Carol Burnett) is a lonely widow who is caught in the cross hairs and taken hostage by Bonnie in order to draw attention to her plight. The two soon find themselves sharing a strange bond on the run from the police as they track down Bonnie's biological mother - the only one who can prove her innocence. EmmyA Award Winner* Carol Burnett gives a brilliant performance in a dramatic turn as the emotionally shattered widow, and with chemistry to spare, her late daughter Carrie Hamilton proves the perfect counter point. HOSTAGE crackles with drama, brims with mystery and is not to be missed for the first time on DVD. *1997 Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for a Mad About You,a 1975 Outstanding Comedy-Variety or Music Series for a The Carol Burnett Showa , 1974 Outstanding Comedy-Variety or Music Series for a The Carol Burnett Showa , 1972 Outstanding Variety Series a " Musical for a The Carol Burnett Showa , 1963 Outstanding Performance in a Variety or Musical Program for a Julie and Carol at Carnegie Hall/An Evening with Carol Burnett,a and 1962 Outstanding Performance in a Variety or Musical Program for "The Garry Moore Show."
