Holly Deveaux to Portray CASEY ANTHONY in Lifetime Biopic

ETonline.com reports that Canadian actress Holly Deveaux has been cast as Casey Anthony in an upcoming Lifetime biopic. The film will center on the highly publicized murder trial of the young mother who, in July 2011, was acquitted of the 2008 murder of her 2-year-old daughter. The film is currently titled 'Prosecuting Casey Anthony'.

The 19-year-old will star opposite Rob Lowe, who will portray prosecutor Jeff Ashton in the made for TV film. Commented Deveaux,  "It's nerve-wracking to combat such a controversial issue as well, the outpouring of negativity for Casey Anthony is unlike anything we've seen in the media in years."

"I'm not going to make her into anything she is not," the actress said about playing the controversial figure. "The fact of it, beyond any verdicts in court, is that she was someone struggling through what was undoubtedly the most difficult trial of a lifetime."
