Robby Benson Returns to Acting in Hallmark's "A Feeling of Home"

For a period in the ‘70s it was impossible to open the pages of teen magazines without the image of actor Robby Benson looking back at you.  Movies like Ice Castle’s and Ode to Billy Joe only cemented his all-American heartthrob status. Despite continued on-screen success through the ‘80s and ‘90s, though, by the year 2000 the actor had all but disappeared from screens, transitioning to behind the scenes as a noted director (Friends, Jesse, Dream On) and as a voice artist (providing the voice of Beast in the Disney classic Beauty & the Beast).  This weekend Benson (pictured above) moves back in front of the camera, making his Hallmark Channel debut in A Feeling of Home.
