Christy is an American period drama series that aired on CBS from April 1994 to August 1995 for twenty episodes.[1][2]
Christy was based on the 1967 novel Christy by Catherine Marshall, the widow of Senate chaplain Peter Marshall. Inspired by the experiences of the author's mother, the novel was a bestseller in 1968, and the week following the debut of the TV movie and program saw the novel jump from #120 up to #15 on the USA Today bestseller list.[3] Series regular Tyne Daly won an Emmy Award for her work on the series.

Townsend served as Cutter Gap for the popular CBS television series 'Christy' in the mid-1990s."
