SCREEN SCENE
Pamela Redmond Satran's 2005 novel Younger has been adapted for the small screen. The half-hour comedy series, starring Sutton Foster, Hilary Duff, Debi Mazar and Miriam Shor, will premiere in March 2015 on American cable channel TV Land. The story follows a suddenly single 40-year-old New Jersey mother called Liza (Foster) who tries to get back into the working world, only to find out it's nearly impossible to start at the bottom at her age. When a chance encounter with a twenty-something guy at a bar convinces her she looks younger than she is, Liza tries to pass herself off as 26 - with the help of a makeover, courtesy of her best friend Maggie (Mazar). Armed with new confidence, she lands a job as an assistant to the temperamental Diana (Shor) and teams up with her new co-worker and fellow 20-something Kelsey (Duff) to make it in the career of her dreams. Sex and the City creator Darren Star is executive producer, while Patricia Field, who designed many of Carrie Bradshaw's memorable outfits, was costume consultant. Redmond Satran, a former Glamour fashion editor, is also the author of novels Suburbanistas and Babes in Captivity.
