Paper Dolls: 1982 TV Movie about the Treacherous World of Teen Modeling starring Darryl Hannah, Joan Hackett, Craig T Nelson and Joan Collins!
<p>At first glance <em>Paper Dolls, </em>the 1982 TV movie which spawned a short-lived primetime soap, looks like glittering 80's camp wearing neon pink blush, wrapped in a gold lamé Nolan Miller dress. But the movie reveals itself to be a smart, sensitive examination of the modeling industry––how it uses and sexualizes teenage girls, and the price those girls pay. </p> <p>Darryl Hannah, excellent in an early starring role, plays a barely disguised version of Brooke Shields, hounded by her stage mother (Joan Hackett). Alexandra Hall plays a suburban teenager, new to modeling, with no idea what's in store for her. Glamorous Joan Collins is the jaded modeling agent who makes it all happen.</p> <p>Directed by Oscar-winner Edward Zwick (Courage Under Fire, Legends of the Fall), <em>Paper Dolls</em> is an amazing mix of high-camp 80's fashion and genuinely moving performances and filmmaking.</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mothermurdererpodcaster/support" rel="payment">https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mothermurdererpodcaster/support</a>

A Cry For Help: The Tracey Thurman Story--A Brutal True Crime Story About Spousal Abuse, Attempted Murder and Misogynist Cops!
For Valentines Day, we're covering the 1989 TV movie "A Cry For Help: The Tracey Thurman Story," based on a true story, starring Nancy McKeon and Dale Midkiff. You'll be relieved you're single! Tracey Thurman tried to escape her abusive husband Buck, but he followed and relentlessly stalked her. No matter how many time she reported him to the police, they refused to help her. Then one day, Buck stabbed Tracey 13 times in broad daylight, in front of a cop! When she recovered, Tracey sued the police department and helped put a new law in place protecting victims of abuse. Your hosts filmmaker Katie Madonna Lee and writer Louis Jordan, with special guest Autumn Welker, discuss the effect Tracey Thurman's case on changing laws and raising awareness about spousal abuse. We also discuss Lisa Bianco, whose tragic death at the hands of her husband helped spark change, and talk about why portrayals of abuse in TV movies get it right more often than theatrical movies. --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mothermurdererpodcaster/support" rel="payment">https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mothermurdererpodcaster/support</a>

A Smoky Mountain Christmas: Dolly Parton's 1986 Christmas TV Movie Where She Fights An Evil Mountain Witch!
<p>For our Christmas Episode, we're covering A Smoky Mountain Christmas, Dolly Parton's 1986 TV Movie that retells Snow White with an Appalachian twist, co-starring Lee Majors, Anita Morris and John Ritter and directed by Henry Winkler (!). Dolly stumbles upon seven orphans in a cabin, and then must fight off an evil mountain witch and sexually harassing, false-arresting crooked cops to save the kids from the orphanage. </p> <p>A Smoky Mountain is so genuinely sweet and so over-the-top camp, it's a perfect Christmas movie. Katie and Louis talk about the tragic events in Dolly Parton's life that may have inspired the movie, scream about Anita Morris as the witch Jezebel, and discuss how the one flaw in Dolly's performance is the same thing that has allowed her to be so beloved for so many years. Happy Holidays everyone! Have a holly Dolly Christmas!</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mothermurdererpodcaster/support" rel="payment">https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mothermurdererpodcaster/support</a>
