Carrie Underwood's Movie Role Posted by Lauren
Season 4's American Idol and five-time Grammy award winner Carrie Underwood has landed a supporting role in her first studio movie Soul Surfer. The inspirational film is based on the autobiography of 19-year-old champion surfer Bethany Hamilton, who, for over six years, has defied all odds to compete and win professional championships after losing her arm in a shark attack at age thirteen. Carrie will play Sarah Hill, a church youth leader. Filming is to take place in February. She showed off her acting chops during Carrie Underwood: An All-Star Holiday Special last December.
The film also stars Academy Award winner Helen Hunt as Bethany’s mother Cheri, Golden Globe nominee Dennis Quaid as Bethany’s father Tom, and Young Artist Award winner AnnaSophia Robb as Bethany Hamilton. The cast also includes Lorraine Nicholson (as Alana Blanchard) and Kevin Sorbo (as Holt Blanchard).
Carrie has been extremely busy lately. She collected her fifth Grammy award last Sunday and performed in a Michael Jackson tribute. This Sunday, Carrie will sing the National Anthem at football’s biggest event of the year.
From small-town farm girl to superstar, Carrie has made quite the transformation.
