Sissy Spacek is set to star in Pictures of Hollis Woods, a Hallmark Hall of Fame TV movie based on the book by Patricia Reilly Giff. The movie tells the story of Hollis Woods (Jodelle Ferland), an artistic twelve year old girl who is adopted by an art teacher, Josie (Spacek), who cares for Hollis. Josie's trouble with remembering things gets worse and worse until Hollis is faced with the task of caring for her. Alfre Woodward plays the social worker assigned to the young girl, who is taken from foster home to foster home before ending up with Josie.
Ann Peacock (The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe) wrote the screenplay. Tony Bill (Untamed Heart, Flyboys) will direct. The movie has been greenlit, though no premiere date was mentioned.
Spacek was last seen on television, I believe, in the TV movie Last Call, about the final days of writer F. Scott Fitzgerald.

"...The movie tells the story of Hollis Woods (Jodelle Ferland), an artistic twelve year old girl who has trouble remembering things and whose condition keeps getting worse." You have things a little mixed up in your synopsis. The art teacher/foster parent is the one with the declining memory. Hollis ends up caring for her, and learning all sorts of love/caring/sacrifice life lessons along the way -- in true Hallmark moment movie fashion. ;)
