Former AMC Actress Nominated For An Oscar



Actress Melissa Leo has received her first Oscar nomination for the film Frozen River.
Back in the 80's, Melissa played Laura Warner, sister to Cliff Warner played by Emmy winner Peter Bergman. Peter now plays Jack Abbott on The Young and The Restless.
Good luck to Melissa on Oscar night.

Frozen River" is the story of Ray Eddy, an upstate New York trailer mom who is lured into the world of illegal immigrant smuggling when she meets a Mohawk girl who lives on a reservation that straddles the US-Canadian border. Broke after her husband takes off with the down payment for their new double-wide, Ray reluctantly teams up with Lila, a smuggler, and the two begin making runs across the frozen St. Lawrence River carrying illegal Chinese and Pakistani immigrants in the trunk of Ray's Dodge Spirit.
