Why Lifetime’s Girl In Room 13 Was Important To Late Actress

Elisabeth Röhm is the director of Lifetime’s Girl In Room 13. The actress and director has been previewing this movie and discussed with TVInsider the horrors of human trafficking, and Polaris, the organization that is fighting to end human trafficking.

Moreover, Röhm has also been the late actress’s voice in stressing the importance of this cause.

She had worked with Lifetime before, so she was really excited and pumped to be a part of their Stop Violence Against Women campaign.

Röhm even revealed that Heche had a specific goal in mind. She wanted this to be an Emmy-winning movie to highlight this cause.

She wanted to get underneath [the story] in a really deep, personal way and bring a performance that she wanted an Emmy for on behalf of Lifetime and on behalf of stopping violence against women.

The director revealed the quality of Heche’s performance in this movie. The actress gave everything. This wasn’t a job. This was a “mission.”

She was in it with every ounce of her soul. She was really committed. Every single day, she would come to set and she would say, ‘We will not stand for abuse. And we stand with Lifetime in that commitment to stopping violence against women.’

She was a true advocate. She really, genuinely wasn’t just there to do a movie or collect a paycheck. She really felt committed to the mission and drawing the spotlight to difficult topics like human trafficking.
