In the news: Heartland star Amber Marshall

Bill Harris of Sun Media interviews Amber Marshall, star of the new CBC series Heartland:

  • ‘Heartland’ star riding high
    “Speaking of TV series, there actually is another series called Heartland that is scheduled to air on TNT in the United States later this year, and Marshall acknowledged that has caused some confusion. Her Heartland is set on a horse ranch, and has nothing to do with human heart operations. ‘I hope they don’t get the scripts mixed up,’ Marshall said with a laugh. ‘One day I’ll be handling a horse and the next day I’ll be performing open-heart surgery.’ “
