Davis goes on killing spree for Lifetime's Dead End
|
|
Emmy winner Judy Davis, who starred in the title role in ABC's Me and My
Shadows: Life With Judy Garland, has taken the lead in the Lifetime original
movie Dead End, based on the true story of the mother-son serial killing
team of Sante and Kenny Kimes. Grand Prods. and Stonemade Entertainment will
be producing the project in conjunction with Fox TV Studios with Gary Randall
and Randy Stone serving as executive producers.
Based on the book Dead End: The Crime Story of the Decade by Jeanne
King, the story centers on Sante Kimes (Davis) and her son Kenny, who committed
10 years worth of murders. Sante raised her son to be her "enforcer,"
and over the years, the pair traveled the country building a real estate empire
and killing anyone that tried to stand in their way.
Teena Booth adapted the screenplay, and Richard Benjamin will be directing.
Davis will soon be seen starring on the big screen for Sofia Coppola in Marie
Antoinette. Davis won Emmys for both Life With Judy Garland and Serving
in Silence: The Margarethe Cammermeyer Story. She has also picked up two
Oscar nominations during her career: one for A Passage to India and one
for Husbands and Wives. Davis is repped by ICM.
