A Death in Canaan
A Death in Canaan is a 1978 American made-for-television drama film directed by Tony Richardson and starring Stefanie Powers, Paul Clemens, and Brian Dennehy. Its plot concerns the true-life story of a teenager who is put on trial for the murder of his mother in a small Connecticut town. Nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award, 1978. The film is based on the book of the same name by Joan Barthel.
The film first aired on the CBS Wednesday Night Movies on
original plasters and the parian copies. However, Rogers himself did sculpt "The Fisher Girl" of which 11 copies were cast in England by Copeland in parian, as a lottery winning for subscribers/members of the Cosmopolitan Art Association in 1861.
In 1878 Rogers opened his small studio in New Canaan, Connecticut. The popularity of Rogers' figurines was already declining when poor health forced his retirement in 1893 and had significantly diminished by the time of his death in 1904.
