Weird Coincidence

In the novel, To Die For by Joyce Maynard - which is based on a true crime story - at one point, Suzanne Stone says that she would like to have Tom Cruise's wife to play her in a movie ("I can't remember her name right now," she adds).

Come the movie adaptation by Gus Van Sant, and, who gets to play Suzanne? Nicole Kidman, of course!

In fact, it was this role that gained her more recognition beyond "Tom Cruise's wife" (along with her co-star, Joaquin Phoenix).

In 2020 a glimmer of hope for Pamela Smart came to light as it was revealed that the prosecutor on her 1991 case, Paul Maggiotto had a separate case from 1989 tossed as he failed to reveal that one of the main witnesses suffered from mental illness.

If a similar ‘error’ was made during Pam’s trail, we have a chance, said her mother, Linda Wojas.

“She never came to see me. She never spoke to me. She never tried to find out anything to the contrary of, you know, the script that they gave her. And that she played a one-dimensional character. It was embarrassing. I mean, she played me as like a complete airhead. And I’m not that person. So it’s hard because I’m constantly hated for being something. I’d probably hate myself if I didn’t know myself, based on what they say.”
