Synopsis (Via Lifetime)
Shepherd is set to star as Nancy Crampton-Brophy, a romance-thriller novelist and author of the essay How to Murder Your Husband, who was convicted of killing her husband, Daniel, played by Steve Guttenberg. This marks Shepherd’s return to Lifetime, having previously starred in The Client List and guest starred on Drop Dead Diva.
Based on a true story, Nancy Crampton-Brophy (Shepherd), seemed to have a knack for writing about murder. The Portland-based romance-thriller novelist authored books about relationships that were tumultuous, while using seductive men on the covers to lure in her readers. Often, her books featured women protagonists who fantasized about killing their own husbands or fleeing their husbands and faking their own deaths. And then, in 2022 in a shocking turn of events, Brophy was convicted of killing her own husband.
How to Murder Your Husband: The Nancy Brophy Story is produced by Front Street Pictures and is being distributed by Sony Pictures Television. Judith Verno through Peace Out Productions serves as executive producer. Stephen Tolkin directs from a script which he penned.
My Thoughts
Lifetime is coming in HOT with the Ripped From the Headlines movies in 2023. I hadn’t heard of this case before, but from what I’ve read about this woman knew how to get away with murder (See creating an untraceable gun from a 3D printer kit), expect for literally writing and essay entitled “How to Murder Your Husband.”
Add to that two Hollywood vets Cybill Shepherd and Steve freakin Guttenburg making his Lifetime Movie debut. It is definitely a Pour It Up!
