Synopsis:
Rose Ann Parker, the daughter of a preacher, grew up in Ontario, California. Drawn to show biz, she eventually became involved with Art Boga, a wealthy man who threw frequent parties attended by the entertainment elite. For four years, Rose had an on-and-off relationship with Art, which included using drugs with him. In 1986, after learning she was pregnant, Rose decided to break things off for good and get clean. But things quickly turned bad again when Art showed up and the two went on a drug binge that lasted four days. When Rose�s brother tried to intervene, a fight broke out, and Rose, fearing for her life, fatally shot Art in the shoulder. Rose confessed to the murder, and was sentenced to 27 years in prison for murder. After 15 years as a model inmate, she was released from prison in December 2000. She has since returned to her roots and become a religious counselor and minister.
