The Necklace watches as the Davis family navigates through tough times in 1960. Laura Davis has separated from her husband Frank due to his unpredictable temper, fueled by alcohol. As Laura returns to work as a nurse, her daughters, 11-year-old Ellen (Violet McGraw) and 16-year-old Judy (Madeleine McGraw), grapple with the changes in their family dynamics. The plot thickens when Frank attempts to win Laura back with a beautiful antique necklace, which turns out to be a conduit for the tormented soul of an evil boy from long ago, putting Laura and her daughters in grave danger.

Moore will play Ruth, who seeks the help of a midwife, and who also practices witchcraft, in order to conceive a child. Ruth conceives while wearing the necklace but not without paying the ultimate price.

Moore starred on Fox’s MadTV, That 70s Show, Without a Paddle and in the reboot of 90210 and as Mandi Heiser in the TNT series Claws. She has also starred on such hit shows as Friends, True Blood, Mom, Last Man Standing, Two and Half Men, 24 and Will & Grace.

In December 2022, Moore released two holiday movies worldwide: I Believe in Santa,, which she produced and stars in, was released on Netflix and quickly became the #2 movie globally on Netflix and A Hollywood Christmas, which she developed and produced, was released on HBO Max and rapidly became the #1 movie on HBO Max. In summer 2022, she also released the film That’s Amor on Netflix, which became the #2 movie in the US and #3 globally in its first two weeks on Netflix, garnering over 30M viewing hours.

She also co-wrote and produced the film Running Wild starring Sharon Stone.

Daniel Aspromonte and Christina Moore will produce The Necklace, with Violet McGraw, Madeleine McGraw, Jackie McGraw, and ESX Entertainment’s Ali Afshar serving as EPs.

Kurland is repped by CESD. Moore is represented by Quest Entertainment & Management.
