Was the 'Dating Game' killer an L.A. Times employee? Did Cheryl Bradshaw and Rodney Alcala really go out for a drink? Your questions about Anna Kendrick's new film, answered.
It’s one of the strangest moments in television history: A notorious serial killer went on ABC’s “The Dating Game” and won a date with Cheryl Bradshaw. Now streaming, Netflix’s new film “Woman of the Hour,” directed, produced by and starring Anna Kendrick, explores that bizarre moment in history through the eyes of Kendrick’s character, named Sheryl, who survives her interaction with murderer Rodney Alcala as the real-life Cheryl Bradshaw did.
Knowing the context of Alcala’s actions, this is even more chilling than the film: At one point, Cheryl asks Rodney to act like a dirty old man, resulting in a moment that would likely be dismissed as too outrageous if it were re-created for the film.
