Anna Kendrick's directorial debut venture Woman of the Hour is based on the bone-chilling true story of a notorious serial killer named Rodney Alcala, who in 1978, appeared on the popular dating game show, The Dating Game—all while amid a horrifying killing spree. Born in San Antonio, Texas, Alcala's life was marked by academic brilliance. At the age of 17, he joined the US Army with aspirations of becoming a paratrooper.
