The show's last episode was a cliffhanger concerning Christy's fate in the town and with the two rival male love interests. The television show maintained the book's romance novel element by showing Christy drawn both to the minister and the doctor. These "outsiders" included a minister, David Grantland (played by Randall Batinkoff) and Quaker missionary woman Alice Henderson, played by Tyne Daly. The show emphasized their culture by making Christy, and most of the main cast, outsiders in one fashion or the other. At the same time many of their ways are portrayed in an idealized fashion as well. They also have a strong belief in folk medicine. For example, they maintain rules and vengeances similar to the Highland clans of old Scotland. The show starred Kellie Martin as Christy Huddleston, a new teacher arriving to the fictional Appalachian village of Cutter Gap, Tennessee, in 1912. LeVar Burton as Daniel Scott (Season 2).Series regular Tyne Daly won an Emmy Award for her work on the series. Inspired by the experiences of the author's mother, the novel had been a bestseller in 1968, and the week following the debut of the TV-movie and program saw the novel jump from #120 up to #15 on the USA Today bestseller list. Ĭhristy was based on the 1967 novel Christy by Catherine Marshall, the widow of Senate chaplain Peter Marshall. Christy is an American period drama series which aired on CBS from April 1994 to August 1995, for twenty episodes.
