Heather Locklear to star in upcoming Meghan McCain-produced Lifetime movie chronicling Kristine Carlson's life

This is the "Melrose Place" star's first acting role since appearing in an episode of ABC’s “Fresh Off the Boat” in 2017.

The biopic tells the story of Carlson, who co-authored several titles of her late husband Dr. Richard Carlson’s best-selling book series "Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff." When he suddenly dies, Kristine struggles to cope with overwhelming grief and raising her two children alone, while dealing with the self-help empire he left behind. Kristine continues to uphold her husband’s legacy and through self-discovery, she truly learns to not sweat the small stuff. First published in 1997, the New York Times best-selling series has sold over 25 million copies. The inspirational nine-book series served as a guide to help readers to put difficult challenges into perspective and "keep the little things from taking over your life."
