A WOMAN OF SUBSTANCE (1985) Honestly, since I remembered the many hours I watched this mini series as a teenager, I just opted to read some cliff notes of the book and the mini series to remind me of it...of them.  I remember the other parts so well, but the other parts are so vague.  Since I just recently watched HOLD THE DREAM and TO BE THE BEST , my conclusion is that if you love someone, don't let decades pass and wait for your sunset years to let them know how much you love them.  A lot of people are not as fortunate to reach their sunset years, and if you die before that, that means you would have had forever held your peace.
