Emmy and Golden Globe winner Kirstie Alley has signed on to star in A Family Affair, an indie film written and directed by Tim Bartell. The plot follows a professional photographer Robert, in a midlife crisis with a young wife, who falls for his tough-love mother-in-law, the actress Olivia, (Alley). Both are beset by life: Robert with an ailing mother of his own and Olivia with her distant daughter. The pair find an unusual mix of guilt, solace, and laughter in a secret affair. Eventually, they must choose which means more to them: their desire to make things right with his wife and her daughter, or their love for each other. Bartell and Jeff Solema of Go East Media are producing the project with an eye to begin production in April 2020 in Los Angeles. Alley, who most recently guest-starred on ABC’s The Goldbergs, is repped by Buchwald and Untitled Entertainment.
