4.0 out of 5 stars Supermodel cut down in her prime, August 21, 2007

This review is from: Face Value (True Stories Collection TV Movie) (DVD)

Cheryl Pollak portrays up and coming model Marla Hanson, a far too trusting novice who comes to New York in 1986 with dreams of stardom. After pounding the pavement and working at a local watering hole, her star begins to rise. Capturing the eye of photographer Eric Warner (Dale Midkiff), he invites her to his studio to create a better portfolio for her. She meets his lighting assistant, Steve Roth (a perfectly cast and very creepy Kirk Baltz), who immediately develops a fixation for the midwestern beauty with deadly consequences. She accepts a sublet room in an apartment he owns and rents out to several models not realizing what she's getting into. Soon he's stalking her and after being nice too long, she tells him to take a hike. Furious at her rejection, he arranges to have his friends attack her and slash her face with a razor. But she is attacked a second time during the trial when the defense tries to blame her for the attack.

One of the better true life crime stories brought to television (it was even really filmed in New York City), it was first aired in 1991 as "The Marla Hanson Story." Unable to reignite her modeling career, Hanson turned to championing victim's rights.

This review is from: Face Value (True Stories Collection TV Movie) (DVD)

I had been looking for this movie for the longest time but it was not available until I found it under a different title..
This is a true story of the young model who was on her way to becoming very successful but she sadly met the wrong man who not only owned the building where she lived but became obsessed with her and could not take no for an answer .. so when she kept refusing his advances he arranged with some shady friends of his to injure her face by slicing it with a knife..
this sadly ended her career.. the scars left behind were too severe so she then became an advocate against this kind of violence and to help young women ..
I had remembered this very sad story when it happened..
I also must give credit to all of the actors who were quite brilliant and really took on the persona's of the charactors they played and they did it so well..they were all so very believable..
This was the first time I had seen a very young Dale Midkiff.. and he left a lasting impression..

I love anything with Dale Midkiff in it. I have heard the story so it was very interesting. It was a little drawn out but knowing she was a survivor kept me watching. If Dale wasn't in it, I would not have ordered it.
