As you may know, I have been looking for a lady to play the older version of the roll my daughter plays as a child, in my current film.

Last summer I ran across a woman who look a little like my daughter Barbara. I learned that she has stage acting and singing experiences. I asked her if she would be interested in being in my film and I got a yes. I held off telling her much about the film since I knew it would be months before I was ready to shoot her part. But I could not remember if I told her the plot.

Last Tuesday it came out that this very civically active woman was accosted by an unknown assailant at her home.

The newspaper story read that someone burnt her SUV to a crisp and coaxing her out of her home, and tried to bludgeon her with an Ax handel.

In my story the villain get's her with a shovel!

TOO REAL!

I was even worried that if I told her about my story line, that I might be considered a suspect!

Now for the rest of the story. It came out in todays newspaper that she faked the attack. She's now undergoing psychological care and facing charges for filing a false police report and embezzling money as a financial consultant.

AT THIS POINT HER REAL LIFE STORY IS NOW SOUNDING STRANGER THAN MY FICTION!
