Geena Davis to Play Puente in New Series | Sacramento Kings News

Geena Davis is set to portray Dorothea Puente, the chilling serial killer who operated a Sacramento boarding house where bodies were found, in a new true crime drama series. This marks a return to the case, previously explored with Meryl Streep in talks and Geena herself considered for another project. Written by Joshua Michael Stern and produced by Bristol Circle Entertainment, the series draws on firsthand accounts from retired detective John Cabrera, who noted Davis’s height differs from Puente’s but acknowledged Hollywood’s casting flexibility. Cabrera, who’s spoken with the writers, hopes the project succeeds, while the historic Victorian home where Puente lived has become a familiar backdrop for filmmakers. The final verdict? As one actress who previously played Puente put it, it all comes down to the script. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
