Amy Robach and TJ Holmes present... Killer Thriller with your host, Alisa Donovan. Hey everyone, Alisa Donovan here, back with a new episode of Killer Thriller. Now, I know that we are here to feature true crime guilty pleasure, but today we are combining all the things we obsess about at once. My guest is none other than 90s teen drama queen, Tori Spelling. Hi, my friends. Hi. Oh my gosh, we're here. Tori starred as Stacey Lockwood in the film A Friend to Die For, which was the most watched TV movie of 1994.

The film is based on the true story of the 1984 murder of Kirsten Kostas. a popular high school cheerleader in Orinda, California, who was stabbed to death by her classmate, Bernadette Proddy, driven by jealousy over popularity and social status. Tori, welcome to Killer Thriller. Thank you for having me. Love the pod. Aw, thank you. I mean, true crime. I love true crime. I mean, who doesn't? And I love you, so the pairing is perfect.
Yes.
Tori Spelling 4:22
Thank you for that intro. I feel really good right now. Really confident. I would like to add, it was the first TV movie that took viewers away from Monday Night Football. And actually, in ratings, won the night. It did. It won the night. Over football. Over football.

Tori Spelling 4:43
You know, this is like something it's like almost unheard of.
