Lifetime has greenlit “The Lost Wife of Robert Durst,” a film exploring what happened to Kathie Durst, the missing wife of infamous real estate mogul Robert Durst, whose story and suspected murder of three people including Kathie was popularized by the HBO documentary “The Jinx.”
The film will star Katharine McPhee as Kathie and Daniel Gillies as Robert. Based on Matt Birbeck’s book “A Deadly Secret: The Strange Disappearance of Kathie Durst,” the film is directed by Yves Simoneau and executive produced by Linda Berman and Rudy Bednar. Filming begins this month in Vancouver.
