How about I mention that in the book the immortals name is Cartwright and
apparently they decided they couldn't have the star of another show named
Cartwright so they changed it to Richards (which I think was actually the
bad guy in the book although it’s been a long time). They also gave the
name Cartwright to the girlfriend character played by the late great Carol
Lynley who had that look you very seldom find… The haunting, haunted kind.

Interesting that you bring her up. I've been working through the
JUSTIFIED series and in season 4 they come upon a brother and sister
faith hilling. The sister is played by Lindsay Pulsipher, who
instantly reminded me of Carol Lynley.  She's not quite the looker
that Lynley was but she shares many of the same characteristics.

She gets victimized by her husband or boyfriend or by over-the-top movie
circumstances or just gets flat out murdered?

Over the top movie circumstances. She was running a scam where her
brother (a true believer) would come into a small town and heal many
drug addicts. Driving down business for the local dealers who would
eventually come calling and she would offer for them to move on for a
generous donation to their church. The only problem is Boyd Crowder
(Walter Goggins)  had been a true believer and he saw thru her plans
and worked to thwart them rather than paying them off. Which led to
death of her brother. Which then ended up with her facing death later
due to her having helped a young woman earlier.


So I think it's safe to say the circumstances were just a bit over the
top.

I posted once about Once You Kiss a Stranger (1969), a second adaptation
of Strangers on a Train. The movie is dreadful and she can't pull off
acting against type, but has extended scenes in a swimming bikini (not a
model's bikini which one must not swim in), erotic as hell.
