She's been portrayed by both Jessica Biel and Elizabeth Olsen.
What happened to Candy Montgomery? Candy—who was born Candice Wheeler—was accused of murdering her close friend, Betty Gore, in Wylie, Texas, on June 13, 1980, after having an extramarital affair with Betty’s husband, Allan Gore. Candy—who lived by the Gores with her husband, Pat Montgomery, and their two children—met Betty, a middle school teacher, at a service at the United Methodist Church of Lucas in Collin County, Texas, and became close friends.
Soon after the murder, Betty turned herself in to local authorities and was put on a $100,000 bond, according to. After an eight-day trial—where the defense argued that Candy acted in self-defense and the prosecution argued that Betty was conscious when most of the stabs happened and that her death was intentional —Candy was acquitted of murder charges in October 1980. Psychiatrists testified at the trial and claimed that Candy had a “dissociative reaction” that led her to stab Betty repeatedly.
The HBO show diverted from Candy’s original looks per director Leslie Linka Glatter. “She didn’t want my hair actually permed because she thought it would be distracting,” says Olsen. “I had a sense of freedom just from that choice that Lesli was making of trying to tell the heart of this story, not so much a documentary version of it.”
Though the portrayal may be different, Olsen wanted to give justice to the story that she was telling as it differed from the Hulu version. “Something really tragic happened and we don’t want to excuse or negate that in any way.
