Charlene Tilton and her grown up daughter Cherish attended the opening night of “Sister Act” at the Pantages theater in Hollywood. We last saw Charlene playing Lucy Ewing on the TNT “Dallas” revival in 2012. She was devastated when Larry Hagman died unexpectedly last year.

Charlene Tilton showed up at Hamburger Mary’s in West Hollywood for Celebrity Bingo recently. Last we heard, The “Dallas” star was putting together a script to star herself in the Tammy Faye Bakker story. She and Tammy Faye became friendly in the years before Tammy died, and Tammy wanted her to star in her life story – especially because they were both 4’11.”
The Tammy Faye Bakker story is no longer up for grabs. And the winner is NOT one of the expected choices – Renee Zellweger, Dolly Parton, or Wynonna Judd. Dallas star Charlene Tilton has been hoping and planning to play the role and she’s already acquired the rights to Tammy’s story. Actually, Charlene spent time with Tammy in the last years of her life and they were quite friendly. Now Charlene and her people are hard at work putting together a first treatment and they’re interviewing Tammy’s friends. When you think about it, Charlene might be perfect casting, certainly in the looks department. Tammy was 4’11” and so is Charlene, and if you picture Charlene with those eyelashes and a lot of lipstick, it works!
