‘Our Savior’s Biological Family—The Jewish People—Are Being Murdered’—Patricia Heaton Stands Up for Israel

A Focus on ‘Straightforward Entertainment’—Away from LA

Heaton recently traded the Hollywood life for the much slower pace of Nashville, Tennessee. She’s entered into a network of actors and producers with “funds that are coming together to produce stuff specifically for Middle America, going back to straightforward entertainment,” she said.

She will guest star, opposite Kelsey Grammer, in the second season of “Frasier,” as Holly, an unpretentious and down-to-earth bartender. Reminiscing about the older sitcoms, Heaton said, “Most had nothing to do with politics.” Going back to the older sitcoms provides an opportunity to participate in bringing America together—rather than jumping into politics and dividing the nation, she said.

“My hypothesis is that given that there is a whole bunch of nothingness everywhere else, at least the silver lining is that they’re turning back to God,” offered Streit. She asked Heaton about her views on the growing occurrences and quality of faith-based media.

Heaton and her husband hadn’t been involved in faith-based media because of the lack of quality. “For a long time, the faith-based content was kind of in this Chrisitan ghetto,” described Heaton. But the quality of wholesome programming has recently skyrocketed.

She starred in a faith-based comedy, “Moms’ Night Out,” where all plans hilariously fall apart when three moms attempt to take a break and have a nice night out together. Heaton also produced “Unexpected,” a wholesome movie centered on infertility and adoption.
