Remembering The Woman Who Sued Her Husband's Mistress: 'The Price of a Broken Heart' (The Hutelmyer Case)

  The Price of a Broken Heart, based on Dot Hutelmyer, is true movie nostalgia. I remember this movie and the real case. The true story made headlines in the 1990s when jilted North Carolina wife, Dorothy Hutelmyer, sued her husband's mistress.   Today, they call mistresses side-pieces… The Price of a Broken Heart is also known as Alienation of Affection. The 1999 legal courtroom drama has some heartbreaking moments. We see a devoted wife and mother who encourages her husband every step of the way.

The Legend of Dead Darrius: The True Story of Birmingham Alabama's Urban Legend--Mummified Stuffed Boy

Dead Darrius  was said to be a  stuffed boy whose mummified body   sat on a porch in Birmingham, Alabama , between the 1950s and 1960s. Since I was a child, I have always loved a good story—not storybook stories—but real stories, the kind you hear from listening to grown folks talk on the front porch. When someone tells a good one, I immediately know if it's something I want to sink my teeth into. The Legend of Dead Darrius was that kind of story.
