• Richmond Times-Dispach June 29, 2008 review by Jay Strafford
  "In real life, a Hollywood murder trial simultaneously fascinates and repels (think O.J. Simpson, Robert Blake and Phil Spector). But in fiction, you can forget the "repels." In Elizabeth Sims' The Actress the fascination will keep you up late."
