Gifford spent last summer filming a movie with Craig Ferguson that follows a widow's journey around the world. Now Gifford plans to make four more movies about widows and empty-nesters following her Today departure. Gifford said she learned there are 15 million widows in the United States, and that it's an underserved market. “I’ve become a widow, I lost my mother, and am an empty-nester, and there’s millions of women in America just like me," says Gifford. "There’s nothing in the movie world made for women of my age who are alone and often affluent. I started writing the first movie, I realized there is a huge market for it, and now I’ve got funding for four more.” ALSO: Gifford is moving to Nashville.
