Carrie Underwood To Make Film Debut

Carrie Underwood is set to make her feature film debut in the indie-drama titled “Soul Surfer”, which is based on the life of teen surfing champ and shark attack survivor Bethany Hamilton. Underwood will play a church youth leader. How appropriate…The film will also star Helen Hunt and Dennis Quaid.
