Thanks to Jillian, Dorothy and Steve (again) . . . Rob Lowe was on the Channel 11 news this a.m. promoting his new TV movie "Too Late to Say Goodbye" based on Ann Rule's book about the murders of Jennifer Corbin and Dolly Hearn by the handsome, charming and deadly Bart Corbin. It's going to be on tomorrow night at 7 PM on Lifetime.
I read the original book this past July and wrote a memorial to Jennifer and Dolly.
Here's a picture of Rob Lowe. I'm sure this is a great part for Rob, who for my generation will never be forgotten, no matter how many embarrassing sex tapes he may have made using what I am sure was a unique and totally forgivable lapse of judgment. I.e., Rob Lowe is way too handsome and could make 500 sex tapes and I'd still watch anything he was in (not sex tape . . . sorry) . . .
As to the story, the silver lining to the horrible cloud caused by Bart Corbin's brutal murders is that Dolly Hearn's family finally was able to have some closure and healing, and Jennifer's children are being lovingly cared for by her family. Both horrible murders have led to caring and help for other victims and their families -- in the end. It's my understanding that Bart Corbin still insists on his innocence and agitates to be released. The internet also played a role early in the investigation period of Jennifer Corbin's "suicide" (the MO that Corbin used for both killings). Bart's family and friends attacked Jennifer's family. As to Ann Rule, I was happy to see Rob promoting her work, and he was very familiar with all of her books. She has to be the best writer ever to cover crimes that shock and chill all who learn about them, and she always finds the human element of every story - I believe with a tremendous amount of caring and empathy for survivors of horrific crimes, and for the surviving family members.
