I really want to re-watch this movie now. I saw it way back then, but there is so much I have probably forgotten. I am sure eventually it will show up again......

Meredith Baxter did a fantastic job..

I LOVED that movie!   Haven't seen it in ages.  Thanks for the reminder.

This is a picture of Betty and Dan Broderick on their wedding day.  She does have a strong resemblance to Meredith Baxter Birney.  

The second wife, Linda Kolkena, also resembles a young Betty.

And how about SNL's Molly Shannon, as Mary Katherine Gallagher,  auditioning for St. Monica's talent show with a monologue as Meredith Baxter from the TV movie:

Mary Katherine Gallagher: I’m going to be doing a monologue today from my favorite made-for-TV movie, “The Betty Broderick Story”, starring Meredith Baxter-Birney.

Father: That’s very good, then, Mary Katherine. So, whenever you’re ready.. [ steps aside ]

Mary Katherine Gallagher: Okay. Okay.. I’m sorry, I’m nervous..[ poises herself ] “I remember it was dawn, and the sun was just.. the sun was just barely rising. And I.. I took the gun out of a little wooden box in my room..

...and I got outside, and I got into my car.. then I drove.. and I drove.. and I drove over to Dan Broderick and Linda’s house. And then I.. and then I.. broke into their front door and I.. slowly climbed up the stairs..

... and to their bedroom, and I saw them sleeping there, and I just shot them both!

 I hate you, Dan! I hate you! I hate you!

Father: [ grabs Mary Katherine’s arm ] Very good, Mary Katherine.. Very good..

@They CallMe MRWILKES.  Ok, that's it, I ve got my adrenaline dose for the day... with lighter!  I remember this skit...., but it took me back to other Mary Katherine skit as well.  The arm pit tester sniff, kissing the tree. I forgot about her. Then I started thinking about Gumby dammit, and I was off on a roll. Those were truely the days of SNL.

@CANDLEQUEEN  -  Meredith sure looked good in that movie too.  Looks like a million bucks in the red outfit.

@Mz iMac I think Meridian Baxter Birney was excellent as Betty. Hard to ever see her as sweet Elise again after this performance.  She highly resembles her as well. The movie was good, but remember the facts have been tweaked a bit.... but with her story, there is a lot of ground to cover that couldnt be put into a 90 min movie. You would need a mini series!!
