Australian twins Raechelle Banno (
Home and Away) and Karina Banno (
Reckoning) will feature in 4 Lifetime movies inspired by the books of US writer V.C. Andrews.
Ruby, Pearl In The Mist, All that Glitters and
Hidden Jewel will air over four consecutive weeks on LMN in May.
The movie series follows Ruby Landry (Raechelle Banno) who, after being raised by her loving spiritual healer grandmother in the Louisiana bayou, is ensnared in a world of dark family secrets and betrayal upon discovering that she has another family living in New Orleans.
Raechelle Banno said, “Working with the Lifetime Network to bring this movie series to life has been so many pleasures in one: I was able to collaborate with a network that continues to promote female-driven content, I got to do it alongside my best friend and twin sister Karina, and now, we get to share it with audiences back home. What’s not to love?!”
