To help cast and crew through the darker moments of “Left for Dead,” star Jennie Garth brought her dog to the set to act as an emotional support animal. With her: director Gloria Ui Young Kim.
Actress Anwen O’Driscoll plays Ashley Reeves, a teenager who was attacked and left for dead in a new Lifetime film. To help her understand the experience, O’Driscoll worked with a variety of therapists.
Former “Beverly Hills 90210” star Jennie Garth plays a mom in “Left for Dead: The Ashley Reeves Story.”
Playing a teenager left for dead in the woods required more than a few acting exercises. For Anwen O’Driscoll, it involved working with an occupational therapist, a vocal coach and a physical therapist. The goal: To portray someone who was paralyzed and unable to speak.
In the based-in-fact drama, “Left For Dead,” she plays 17-year-old Ashley Reeves, a girl who was tossed in a cold grave and left there for 30 hours.
“I watched as many videos as I could and would take little videos and clips of my voice and send them to (the director) to be consistent and accurate,” O’Driscoll says. “I was afraid to make it kind of like a caricature thing.”
Considered a story of resilience, the Lifetime production tracks Ashley Reeves through physical rehabilitation, memory loss and, ultimately, a quest for justice.
For director Gloria Ui Young Kim, the headline grabber needed to be told so that viewers would understand Ashley’s determination and ability to overcome obstacles. “Given the time we’re living in, it’s really, really, really important that women’s stories are in the forefront,” she says. “Her actual story of survival was the story rather than the mystery.”
The “whodunnit” didn’t take long to solve. “The person who attacked her was the one who led police to her body,” Kim says.
