Gold Digger Killer

It's an entertaining low budget movie, but I wouldn't watch it again.

The casting was WAY OFF. It's incredibly hard to believe the 43 year age gap when the original characters are supposed to be 27 and 70. The waitress was played by someone who is 50 years old and the man is played by someone who 63. They don't look 43 years apart, they look like a perfect couple. Casting was way off.

Please Lifetime learn how law enforcement agencies conduct murders. Evidence is not placed in plastic bags.

Murder scenes don't have everyone sitting in the crime scene contaming evidence. Investigations 101. Please have the writers goggle on how to Investigate a crime.

Suspects or persons of interest interest are not all interviewed at once.

Please I could go on and on. Please get it right.

Julie Benz shines as Celeste, a single mom who's a waitress with 2 kids who wants a better life for herself and them. Enter Steve Beard, a millionaire regular at the bar who falls hard for Celeste, ties the knot with her and ends up being shot in his own mansion. Did Celeste kill him? This one is not as predictable as some movies and a supporting Canadian cast makes this one worth a watch. Definitely recommend!!!

This is a docudrama. Julie Benz plays Christine Beard, the gold digger who marries multimillionaire Steven Beard, played by Eli Gabay.

I saw this case profiled on another network. I saw the real people in this case. I wish LMN had stuck to some of the details. Celeste's two girls are 17 year old twins. Roan Curtis (Kristina) is about twenty five years old at the time of this movie. Georgia Bradner (Jennifer) is about twenty seven years old. Neither of them look even close to seventeen years old. Surely they could have found actors who look close to the ages of the characters they play. Julie Benz at almost 50 years old, is almost believable in the role of a 32 year old. But her real age shows quite often. However, you can kind of understand that she would look older than her biological age. She's a woman who has gone through many men, many marriages and plenty of hard times.

If I erase these details from my mind, the movie is entertaining.
