Face Value: The Marla Hanson Story
Manage episode 505279697 series 3530377
The Marla Hanson Story is a dramatic retelling of a real-life tragedy. The film follows Marla Hanson, a young and ambitious model who moves to New York City to pursue her career. She rents an apartment from Steve Roth, a makeup artist with whom she initially forms a friendship. However, when Marla rebuffs his unwanted romantic advances, Roth's interest turns dark and obsessive.
Consumed by rejection and jealousy, Roth arranges for two men to attack Marla. An ambush that leaves her face slashed with a razor permanently scarring her physically and emotionally. The film depicts her traumatic recovery, her courageous testimony in court, and the emotional toll of being re-victimized during a brutal cross-examination. Despite this, Marla finds strength in her fight for justice.
