She'll play said woman, Jane. (Deadline.com)
MANSON'S LOST GIRLS (Lifetime, New!) - Asylum Entertainment has received the green light for a new original movie at the network about "the circle of teenaged girls who fell under the demonic spell of Charles Manson and helped carry out brutal killings meant to start an apocalyptic race war."

Already cast is Jeff Ward as Manson with MacKenzie Mauzy as Linda Kasabian, Eden Brolin as Susan Atkins, Greer Grammer as Leslie Van Houten and Christian Madsen as Tex Watson.

Said effort "will highlight the remarkable behind-the-scenes moments that shaped the series - from early casting drama and Heather Locklear arriving to "save" Melrose Place to the actors begging its writers for even wilder storylines to make them fan favorites." Michael Larkin and Howard Braunstein are the executive producers with Christian Bruyere producing. (THR.com)
