Television to develop the story of Doris Day as a limited series, having gotten the rights to A.E. Hotchner’s “Doris Day: Her Own Story.”
Hotchner wrote the 1976 biography based on a series of interviews with Day, and it’s considered to be her autobiography. Cuoco will play Day, the iconic actor, singer and animal rights activist. No network is currently attached to the project.

In the state where it takes place, "The Last Mountain" occupies the loneliest corner, the "last "referring to the Coal River Mountain, the only peak that hasn't been reduced to rubble for the sake of coal production in West Virginia. And the film itself, the latest from "The Price of Sugar" director Bill Haney, is equally isolating, a well-built argument against the destruction of the Appalachian mountains to feed our nation's energy needs that ditches any sense of objectivity early on and directs its message firmly at those who already lean towards banning corporations from drilling to prevent the destruction of the region and worse, the debilitating effects on the health of its citizenry as both the water and air become contaminated with coal dust.
Even amidst the debris, Haney clearly lays out the gradual demolition of mountain tops and the erosion of laws that were intended to protect them from the 1970s forward.
