Renée Zellweger What/If

She appeared as Anne Montgomery, a venture capitalist based in San Francisco in the American thriller miniseries What/If. What/If is a neo-noir thriller that investigates “the ripple effects of what happens when acceptable people start doing unacceptable things,” according to Deadline Hollywood’s Nellie Andreeva. Each season will focus on a distinct morality story inspired by culturally significant source material, as well as the potential of a single catastrophic decision to alter the course of an entire life.”

Renée Zellweger The Thing About Pam

She appeared as Pam Hupp, a self-appointed “businesswoman” arrested for the murder of Betsy Faria in the American true crime comedy-drama television miniseries The Thing About Pam. The film The Thing About Pam tells the story of Betsy Faria, a cancer-stricken lady found dead in her Troy, Missouri, home in December 2011. Betsy’s friend, house flipper Pam Hupp, told authorities she was the last person to see her the night she died, insisting on driving her home. The police suspected Betsy’s husband, Russ, of the crime and arrested him, but when his conviction was overturned, gaps in Pam’s testimony revealed a sinister plot. Meanwhile, television producers wanted to dedicate many Dateline NBC episodes on Betsy’s account, which reveals Pam’s past and makes her a suspect in the case.

Renée Zellweger A Taste for Killing

She appeared as Mary Lou in the 1992 American made-for-television thriller drama film A Taste for Killing. Dr. Dennis Slamon, a physician scientist at UCLA Medical Center who developed the breast cancer medicine Herceptin during an eight-year period from 1988 to 1996, is the subject of the film. After the medication business discontinues funding, philanthropists such as Lilly Tartikoff and Ronald Perelman assist him in continuing his research.

Before FDA approval, the medicine must go through three trials, the first of which involves Nicole, a young mother with stage 4 cancer. Barbara and Ellie, two of the women in the trials, band together to cope with their disease and medication trials through humor or alternative therapy. Some individuals die as a result of Slamon’s research, but her work ultimately altered the direction of breast cancer treatment.
