Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction In 'Bernie'
Melissa Block talks with Skip Hollandsworth about Bernie ¿ a new film he co-wrote with Richard Linklater. The project started out as a Texas Monthly article Hollandsworth wrote back in 1998 called "Midnight in the Garden of East Texas." At the heart of the story is Bernie Tiede ¿ a 39-year-old soft-spoken assistant at the local funeral home ¿ who admitted to killing an 81-year-old heiress and stealing her money.
