NEWSDaphne Zuniga Saddles Up for Hallmark TV Movie

Daphne Zuniga has gone retro, about 200 years worth, for her new movie Mail Order Bride, airing tomorrow night!
She plays Diana McQueen, a con artist from Boston who pretends to be the bride of an unsuspecting ranch hand in Wyoming to escape her violent tempered boss.

And that's a bad thing?
There has to be a perk for roughing it in the film, and what more could you ask for than a handsome co-star in the form of Beautiful People's Cameron Bancroft?

“I was joking with the crew about," said Daphne. "I said, ‘Well, I’m out here in the wilderness with Cameron, and if some girl’s gotta do it, it might as well be me!’”
We can't fault you, girl!
