For the first time Rosanna Arquette and her sister will be performing together in the upcoming episode "Lady Killer." (which airs April 7 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.). Rosanna will play a murderous older woman, but she told SCI FI Wire that killing a man on screen made her queasy. Arquette said: "It was challenging. There was this one moment where I had to strangle this man, and I found myself getting really nauseous. Like, every time I would do [a take], I kind of felt sick to my stomach, and I said, 'This feeling ... comes because that is wrong.' It's amazing, the people who actually really do these things, how they can get to that place." Patricia Arquette said that she and her sister had appeared together in Rosanna's documentary "Searching for Debra Winger," but "Lady Killer" marked the first time they'd worked together in a fictional piece. About her sister's performance she said: "I thought, you know, because I know my sister so well, that it's a testament to what a great actress she is. I mean, physically, she is a very beautiful woman, but she's a very natural woman in real life. So I knew she would look gorgeous, and she looks gorgeous. But to see her as this sort of carnivorous mercenary, kind of dangerous person, [it was] so different for me to see her [as] that."

The Lynching of Emmett Till
The Associated Press reports that Rod Serling's original 1955 teleplay based on the lynching of Emmett Till and the acquittal of his killers will be performed at a reading at Ithaca College. Twice before the late Serling had attempted to tell the story of the black teenager from Chicago who was murdered after whistling at a white woman during a visit to Mississippi (the case helped launch the civil rights movement) but was thwarted by network censors. Andrew Polak, board president of the Rod Serling Memorial Foundation said: "Serling seemed to struggle with network and sponsor censorship all his career but I believe his trying to tell the story of the Emmett Till case was the pinnacle of this battle." When the teleplay was last presented to television (1958) it was called "A Town Has Turned to Dust," but Serling said that by the time censors had finished with his script, "A Town Has Turned to Dust" had itself turned to dust. It was presented in a totally unrecognizable science fiction version in 1998 on the Sci Fi Channel.
