  • December 13, 1987

In the Hallmark Hall of Fame's season 37 episode 2, titled "Foxfire," viewers are taken on a heartwarming journey about the value of community and friendship during challenging times. The story is based on the novel by Joyce Carol Oates and set in 1950s upstate New York.

The focus is on a group of elderly women who have lived in the small town of Johanna for most of their lives. They are known as the Foxfire women, named after a plant that grows in the nearby woods and is said to have magical powers. The women are fiercely independent and proud of their heritage, having learned everything they know from their ancestors.

As they face the challenges of aging and changing times, the women begin to question their place in the world. When a development company threatens to purchase their land and build a shopping mall, they are forced to band together to protect their community.

The main character, Annie Nations (played by Hume Cronyn), is a cantankerous 79-year-old who is fiercely loyal to her neighbors and her way of life. She is often at odds with her son, Dillard, (played by Jessica Tandy) who lives in California and wants her to move in with him.

Throughout the episode, viewers witness the women's strong bond as they share stories, gossip, and offer support to one another. They also discover long-hidden family secrets that bring them closer together.

As the tension between the Foxfire women and the developers mounts, they decide to take matters into their own hands. With the help of a young activist, the group stage a protest that captures the attention of the entire town.

Through their efforts, the women not only save their land but also remind everyone of the importance of community and the power of friendship.

Overall, "Foxfire" is a heartwarming story that showcases the strength and resilience of a group of women who refuse to go quietly into the night. It's a reminder that no matter how much the world changes, the value of human connection and compassion will always remain.
