1984: NBC Airs the TV Movie 'The Burning Bed'
October 8, 2020  | By Linda Donovan  | 73 comments
 

On this day in 1984, NBC aired the TV movie The Burning Bed, based on a true story about battered wife, Francine Hughes, played by Farrah Fawcett. After years of severe abuse at the hands of her husband, and being raped by him one night, Francine set fire to the bed once he was asleep.

The movie recounted the violent relationship from its beginning to the night Francine attempted to save her life and those of her children. Fawcett won critical and public acclaim for her work, revealing a depth to her acting ability she’d never shown before. The movie was nominated for eight Emmys, including one for Fawcett (Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or a Special) and also won the Television Critics Award for Outstanding Achievement in Specials.

An abused battered wife has had enough of her husband beating up on her. Everywhere she turns for help, there's not much anyone will do. After he rapes her one night, she sets the bed on fire with him in it asleep.

Now video games are truly amazing with their technology, character creation, graphics, and so on. Sometimes I even want to play something new, but I still think that it’s a waste of time and I need to earn money. So far, the only option is gambling https://conquestador.com/en-ca/game/wolf-gold . Now these are not only options such as roulette, blackjack, and so on, but also really cool games for leisure and earning money.
