The actress Wyn Reed had that powerful combination of charisma, beauty and smarts. She was such a talent that a team of movie producers couldn’t believe it when the 28 year-old Wyn agreed to play the lead — a killer—in their upcoming, small-budget, horror movie. What the filmmakers didn’t know, as they got on location, was that Wyn wasn’t really Wyn. That was all make believe. But the killer part? That was real. This original podcast series from Keith Morrison and Dateline NBC tells a story even Hollywood couldn’t have imagined.
A new horror movie with a promising young star. Three, two, one, action.
What the hell are you doing? I was just using the bathroom. Did you hear that noise? Yes.
And the power is out again to come in with such a phenomenal act. I mean, it was just insane. We absolutely adored her.
She definitely seemed to really nail it. She was so good, maybe too good at playing a killer.
I really had a strong inkling that that was her. Who was this talented young woman? I'm Keith Morrison, era Dateline NBC, we see a lot of people pretend not to be killers, but we've never had a case where the main suspect decided to play one.
Ready, actors action. Stop. Got our latest story will take us to a small town in Oregon where an actor who dreamed of marrying a Hollywood producer would get her chance in the spotlight. But where did the performance and reality begin, you know, in horror movies that goes around it or a story of secret identities and a family feud and how she could fire up a gun, this an inheritance?
I was going to adulterate the will with additional language that said that if anything happened to my family, he would be immediately disinherited.
That a protective mother who said she and her children lived in constant fear and terrorized, terrorized. I don't grieve for my brother. I am glad this man is dead.
And the young woman at the center who landed a killer role, I think should.
That's true. I don't want America to.
