‘Captain America’ actress Mollie Fitzgerald charged with fatally stabbing her mother in Kansas


An actress who appeared in “Captain America: The First Avenger” stabbed her mother to death inside a Kansas home, police said.
Mollie Maxine Fitzgerald, who played “Stark Girl” in the 2011 Marvel Studios movie, was arrested Tuesday on a second-degree murder charge by police in Olathe, where her mother, 68-year-old Patricia “Tee” Fitzgerald, was found dead inside a home on Dec. 20, the Kansas City Star reports.
Patricia Fitzgerald, of Montgomery, Texas, was pronounced dead at the residence from an apparent stab wound, police announced Tuesday.
“A 38-year-old white female, known to the victim, was contacted on scene and transported to a local hospital with minor injuries,” police said. “This case remains under investigation by the Olathe Police Department.”
Additional details about the alleged killing were not provided and a police spokesman did not immediately return a message seeking comment Wednesday.
The elder Fitzgerald was in the process of moving back to the Kansas City area after living for several decades outside of Houston, her brother Gary Hunziker told the Kansas City Star. He was unable to provide additional details surrounding his sister’s death.
“We were shocked,” Hunziker said. “It doesn’t matter the circumstances – the loss of a sister is what it’s all about.”
An IMDb profile for Mollie Fitzgerald identifies her as a movie director, producer and actress who also appeared in a 2018 film called “Trouble Is My Business” and “The Lawful Truth” in 2014.
Fitzgerald is set to be arraigned on Thursday, KMBC reports
