Lifetime continues its partnership with the estate of the late writer V.C. Andrews this weekend with the premiere of the limited series Dawn. Told over four weekly installments, and spanning many decades, V.C. Andrews' Dawn follows the complex story of young Dawn Longchamp, whose idyllic life is uprooted after discovering her entire upbringing has been a lie. Presumed to have been stolen at birth, Dawn finds herself returned to her biological family, the Cutlers, and must adjust to a very different way of life, one in strong contrast to her humble upbringing. The Cutler family is rich, powerful and runs a successful hotel. Ruling over the family is Dawn's demonstrative grandmother Lillian -- played by Donna Mills (pictured at top) -- who has dark secrets of her own regarding her granddaughter's disappearance.
