Jennie Garth Plays Nancy Grace (Almost) in Lifetime Movie

The "90210" alum will play a character based on Grace in a Lifetime movie based on her semi-autobiographical debut novel

Pardon us if we don't see the resemblance: "Beverly Hills 90210" alum Jennie Garth has signed on to star in "Nancy Grace's Eleventh Victim," an adaptation of Grace's semi-autobiographical debut novel.

GettyGarth will play Atlanta assistant district attorney Hailey Dean, whose fiancé is murdered. Then she wins the conviction of a serial killer (Clint Burrell Cruise, in the tradition of serial killers with three names) and moves to New York City to begin a new career as a therapist.

In Grace's novel, "The Eleventh Victim," Dean's therapy patients become victims of a murderer who operates much like Cruise did. Dean, somehow unaware that Cruise had been freed from prison after an appeal, becomes the suspect in the murders.
