Wife, Mother, Murderer: Judith Light Stars as Marie Hilley in this True Crime Made-For-TV Movie Classic!

It's time! We're finally covering our podcast's namesake, the 1991 ABC made-for-TV movie "Wife, Mother, Murderer." Judith Light, of Who's the Boss fame, stars in a true crime story with big plot twists and bigger shoulder pads! When Marie Hilley's husband dies of a mysterious illness and she collects the life insurance, no one asks questions. But when her own daughter then becomes sick, and the police discover that Marie was behind it all. She goes on the run from the law, fakes her own death, then comes back as her blond identical twin! Writer Louis Jordan and filmmaker Katie Madonna Lee (and her identical twin sister Sadie Madonna Lee) discuss what makes this made-for-TV classic so much fun, and how the real story was somehow even more bizarre.
