Jennie Garth Playing Nancy Grace novel, The Eleventh Victim
 |
| Jennie Garth |
Garth will play Atlanta assistant district attorney Hailey Dean, whose fiance is murdered. Then she wins the conviction of a serial killer (Clint Burrell Cruise, in the tradition of serial killers with three names) and moves to New York City to begin a new career as a therapist.
John Fasano (Darkness Falls) wrote the TV adaptation. Talk show host Grace, a former prosecutor herself, is executive producing the movie with Ted Bauman and Josh Sabarra. PR executive Sabarra, a longtime friend of Grace’s, was Lifetime’s head of communications until the company’s merger with A&E Networks.
“The Eleventh Hour” includes elements from Grace’s own life since she herself worked as a special prosecutor in the Fulton County District Attorney’s office. The 2009 mystery thriller follows a young psychology student, Hailey Dean (Garth), whose fiancé is murdered just weeks before their wedding. Dean (like Grace) goes on to prosecute violent crime. But it’s hardly autobiographical. The fictional Dean then becomes a therapist. Once the accused is released from prison on appeal, he starts to kill off Dean’s patients.
Garth, who, like Grace, is a "Dancing With the Stars" alum, is also currently starring in a new CMT reality series - "Jennie Garth: A Little Bit Country" - which follows her family's move from Los Angeles to a working farm.
Grace, who hosts her own show on HLN, will be one of the executive producers.
Garth, 40, is now on a reality show on CMT, “A Little Bit Country,” and is in the midst of a divorce.
