Ashley Judd's star turn as a promiscuous Southern alcoholic will hit theaters in the fall. Roadside Attractions has picked up U.S. theatrical rights to "Come Early Morning," the feature directorial debut of actress Joey Lauren Adams...

Adams' debut screenplay is loosely based on her own experiences growing up in the South and parallels Judd's recent revelations of depression brought on by a difficult childhood.

"It's an emotional film with a great performance by a movie star who hasn't starred in an independent film in nearly 14 years," said Roadside co-president Howard Cohen, referring to Judd's acclaimed debut in Victor Nunez's "Ruby in Paradise." "It's the portrait of a Southern woman told in a modern, honest and accessible way. We haven't seen this movie before."

Ashley Judd says she spent 47 days in a Texas treatment facility for depression and other emotional problems, in an interview in Glamour magazine.

"I needed help," the 38-year-old actress tells the magazine in its August issue. "I was in so much pain."

Judd, the daughter of country music star Naomi Judd, says she entered the Shades of Hope Treatment Center in Buffalo Gap in February for "codependence in my relationships; depression, blaming, raging, numbing, denying and minimizing my feelings."

"But because my addictions were behavioral, not chemical, I wouldn't have known to seek treatment. At Shades of Hope, my behaviors were treated like addictions. And those behaviors were killing me spiritually, the same as someone who is sitting on a corner with a bottle in a brown paper bag."

Judd says she was visiting her sister, singer Wynonna Judd, who was being treated for food addictions.

"When (the counselors) approached me about treatment, they said, `No one ever does an intervention on people like you. You look too good; you're too smart and together. But you (and Wynonna) come from the same family - so you come from the same wound.' No one had ever validated my pain before. It was so profound," she says. Full Story
