Tori Spelling stars as the headlining cheerleader in the second in our Lifetime True Crime double feature, Death of a Cheerleader, directed by William A Graham. Based on the sad 1984 murder of Kirsten Costas, this Lifetime movie showcases all of Tori Spelling’s raw acting talent, which can only be compared to that of a comatose ferret. Oh, and she’s friends with Wendy Peffercorn. So buckle up, it’s gonna be a rough ride as we attempt to make sense of Tori Spelling’s acting career!

Asian Vacation

Posted on February 24, 2016 by Holly W. Leave a comment
