A heartfelt if uneven story of letting go and misdirected emotional energy, Paul Shoulberg’s Ms. White Light imagines a young woman who has no social skills whatsoever unless the person she’s talking to is at death’s door. With the dying, she’s a savant. It’s a role well suited to star Roberta Colindrez, who on small screens (Vida, I Love Dick) has stood out with hard-to-pigeonhole charisma, but that’s not to say the film completely sells its conceit or escapes its maker’s origins in the theater.

More than four decades into her career, Judith Light is taking on more projects than ever.
“A lot of people have said to me, ‘Oh, my God, you’re working more now than you did when you were younger,’” says the actress, who is receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Sept. 12. “I have immense gratitude for what’s happening.”
Light’s roles in the past year are as eclectic as they are numerous: an evil nurse in the Lifetime TV movie “Escaping the Madhouse: The Nellie Bly Story”; a pageant coach on Facebook Watch’s “Queen America”; and parts in feature films “Before You Know It” and “Ms. White Light.”
On Sept. 27, she’ll reprise her role as Shelly Pfefferman in the “Transparent” musical series finale. On that same day, Netflix will release Ryan Murphy’s first series for the platform, “The Politician,” in which Light also has a part.

Two-time Emmy and Tony Award-winning actress Judith Light has been tapped to recur in Queen America, Facebook Watch’s upcoming dark comedy series starring Catherine Zeta-Jones, created, written, and executive produced by Meaghan Oppenheimer (Fear The Walking Dead).
Set in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Queen America revolves around Vicki Ellis (Zeta-Jones), the most renowned (and ruthless) pageant coach in the state, and the beautiful and kind, but clumsy, ignorant and insecure Samantha ( Belle Shouse) who hopes Vicki can mold her into a worthwhile contender. Vicki is desperately sought after by young women competing to be pageant queen royalty for one reason; she can turn any girl into a winner. But when she’s paired with the beautiful but unpolished Samantha, Vicki’s entire reputation is at stake.
Light will play Regina, Vicki’s (Zeta-Jones) former pageant coach, who transformed Vicki from a trailer park girl. Bred from “old money,” Regina represents much of what Vicki aspires to,...
