Heather Locklear to feature in Lifetime movie based on Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff book

The biopic tells us the story of Carlson, who co-authored many titles of her late husband Dr Richard Carlson’s best selling book series Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff. When he suddenly passed away, Kristine couldn’t hold her life together, she struggled to cope with overwhelming misery, grief and sorrow. It was a whole nother task to take care of her two kids while being a single parent and it was a lot for her to look after everything alone while having to deal with the self-help empire he left behind. Through self-discovery, Kristine continues to uphold her husband’s legacy and she truly learns to not sweat the small stuff.

The book was first published in 1997 and it was the New York Times best-selling series which has sold over 25 million copies. The inspirational nine-book series serves as a guide to help readers to get through hurdles in their lives by putting it into perspective and to keep the little things from taking over your life.

This is Locklear’s first acting role since appearing in an episode of ABC’s Fresh Off The Boat in 2017. The actor is starting afresh after celebrating one year of sobriety since last April following an assault-related arrest in 2018 and a visit to a psychiatric facility for her mental health oftentimes throughout the year.
