Image 1 / 10

Exposing the line between fact and fiction, Investigation Discovery's new series ‘Reel Crime/ Real Story' uncovers the true facts and real personalities behind iconic crime-and-justice movies that have become a part of our popular culture. Hosted by legal champion and biopic subject Erin Brockovich, each episode explores how art imitated life in some of the world's most notorious cases. From never-before-seen conversations with America's first female serial killer, Aileen Wuornos, whose life and crimes were immortalized by actress Charlize Theron in Monster; to the personal testimonies of those closest to murdered Latin music sensation Selena Quintanilla Perez, portrayed by Jennifer Lopez in 1997 film, Selena; to a portrait of the real Pamela Smart, whose salacious story of seduction and murder inspired Nicole Kidman to win her first Golden Globe for To Die For, uncover the truth behind the headline-stealing homicides that inspired Hollywood hits.
