...IMMIGRANT'S DAUGHTER, Fast...
...Here is Streep as the troubled survivor of a traumatic World War II episode. Sophie's Choice? No, Plenty. Lange stars as a trailblazing country singer of the '60s who has a truculent husband and a few brushes with disaster. A remake of Loretta Lynn and Coal Miner's Daughter?

In the 12-hr. pre- Civil War saga North and South, scheduled to air on ABC in early November, British-born Down, 31, plays the refined daughter of a Louisiana Frenchman who marries a man she does not love. "He turns out to be a fiend," says Down, who draws no parallels to her ongoing real-life divorce from Director William Friedkin.
