● SARA PAXTON EMBRACING THE DARK SIDE IN ’BLUE EYED BUTCHER’

It’s hard to sympathize with a woman whose brutally stabbed her husband nearly 200 times, but that’s precisely what Sara Paxton had to do when she took on the role of Susan Wright in Lifetime’s biopic “Blue Eyed Butcher“ (Saturday, March 3rd, 8:00 p.m. ET/PT). The real Susan Wright was sentenced to 20 years in November of 2010 after being found guilty of murdering her husband Jeffrey, but her defense was that she had been abused for years. Paxton admits she was nervous about taking on the role, but eventually realized how important it was for her transition from teen to adult roles. In the past the young actress was featured in movies like “Aquamarine“ and “Return to Halloweentown.“ “Blue Eyed Butcher“ also gave her a better perspective on abusive relationships, but as you’ll see from the video, the truth about Wright’s murderous rampage will always leave lingering questions.
