It was absolutely crazy.

And the fact that Mary Jo, this is what I think looking back now is really upsetting and unbelievable, is that the story really became about Amy and Joey and no one was talking about the woman who was the victim of this heinous crime.

I mean, she opened the front door of her house and

and opened the door to Amy and thinks, here's this young girl who is not threatening.

And then the girl shoots her in the head.

It's completely crazy.

One of the reasons for that is that in the 90s, after this case blew up,

there were three different dramatizations of it.

Two that stand out to me, the Drew Barrymore version and the Alyssa Milano version that aired on the same night on ABC and CBS with the,

very big stars.

So even though you could say Drew Barrymore is even a bigger star today at the time, she was a very big star.

Very big.

Lana was coming off of who's the boss.

Yep.

Very recognizable actors taking over and be portraying Amy Fisher.

And both were from Amy's perspective from her perspective, Amy Fisher story where Mary Jo, but if you go is really just sort of the victim and a, and a small portion where the affair and relationship between Joey and, and Amy,

Amy was the focus.

Yeah.

Yes.

I mean, it was something like, I believe it was a hundred to 125 million people watched one or the other of the, at least one of those movies.
