Killer Thriller: A Small-Town Cheerleader Murder That Became the Highest Rated TV Movie of 1994 with Kellie Martin.

Kellie Martin joins Killer Thriller to revisit the true story behind Death of a Cheerleader, the 90s TV movie based on the real-life murder of young girl in a small affluent town. The movie became the highest rated TV movie of the year.

At just 17, Kellie stepped into the role of Angela Delvecchio, the girl who killed her classmate. She reveals why she avoided researching the real case, how she fought to make Angela sympathetic instead of monstrous, and why she saw shame and desperation at the heart of the stabbing.
Kellie opens up about feeling like the outsider next to Tori Spelling at the height of 90210 fame and how that real-life insecurity gave her a window into Angela’s shame and obsession.
