The Killing of Caroline Byrne, true story telemovie

One of the more bizarre aspects of A Model Daughter: The Killing of Caroline Byrne involves the casting of support roles.

The telemovie tomorrow night on TEN includes key players in Byrne’s modelling career, including deportment teacher June Dally-Watkins (Heather Mitchell) and fellow student Kylie Watson (Indiana Evans).

Watson befriended Byrne when she took her first steps into the world of modelling at the Dally-Watkins school.

When Byrne lost her life Watson didn’t believe it was suicide and, together with Dally-Watkins, helped Tony Byrne (Garry McDonald) to keep the police investigation alive.

Now 14 years later Watson has an actual acting role in the telemovie on the life of her friend.

She will play actress Tania Zaetta, who lunched with Byrne just two days before her death.

In this courtroom photo from the telemovie Watson is pictured on the left as Zaetta, while Indiana Evans is pictured on the right as Watson.

Looking at the cast bios on TEN’s website visitors could easily think they were reading a typo.

Certainly one of the more unusual casting choices in a while. The film airs 8:30pm tomorrow night.

it was obvious from the start that her boyfriend was responsible.

But I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. Indiana played her role fantastically even though she only appeared in a few small roles... and the girl that played Caroline's younger sister was actually the actress who played Tam :)

And it was nice to see the woman who played Shauna, even if she only appeared in a couple of short scenes as well :)
