The actress, who starred in Flowers in the Attic and sequel Petals on the Wind, will again reprise her role in the film’s third installment If There Be Thorns, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The third novel in V.C. Andrews‘ Flowers in the Attic series, If There Be Thorns follows Christopher (Jason Lewis, Sex and the City, Brothers & Sisters) and Cathy Dollanganger (Rachael Carpani, McLeod’s Daughters) as they live together as man and wife in California with Cathy’s two sons, who are unaware of the nature of their parents’ relationship. Mason Cook (Legends) will play Cathy’s son, Bart.
Graham will reprise her role as Corrine Dollangager, Cathy and Christopher’s mother, in the third film.
