About Killer Role
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.

[…] Casinos, five of them, flashing away like some Vegas in miniature, a golf shot or two off the highway, the town of 4,000 or so spilling out onto the surrounding desert. And if tempted by a meal or a rest or a roll of the dice, if you pulled off that highway, you'd be welcomed by a great grinning cowboy for the improbable towering image of one, 63 feet high, garish and weirdly charming as it waves a welcome. A giant concoction in neon and steel they call Wendover Will, for West Wendover, name of the town. And a reminder of more innocent days. It's pretty much the only thing Wendover was known for. […]
