‘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

Sanders, for his part, did his best to hold his ground, justifying his criticism of the President and presenting himself as a change agent while pointing out Clinton’s own differences with Obama. Their heated exchanges over Obama’s legacy reflected how the President has b...

Oscar Pistorius Will Be Sentenced for Murder After Dismissal of his Appeal

A lawyer for Oscar Pistorius says South Africa’s highest court has dismissed the former track star’s appeal of his murder conviction. The ruling by the Constitutional Court on Thursday clears the way for a judge to sentence Pistorius for murder at a hearing scheduled for April 18. Defense lawyer Andrew Fawcett confirmed the Constitutional Court’s decision and said: “We’ll proceed to the sentencing.” Pistorius, who killed girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in his home in 2013, had appealed to the Constitutional Court, saying another court erred when it overturned a manslaughter conviction and declared the Olympic athlete guilty of murder. The minimum sentence for murder in South Africa is 15 years, though a judge can reduce that sentence for what the law describes as exceptional circumstances. Pistorius is currently under house arrest. [ Time ]
