Is Renée Zellweger’s Show, ‘The Thing About Pam,’ Based on a True Story?

Renée has taken on the role of Pam Hupp in The Thing About Pam. According to People, Pam was a devious individual who was interested in her best friend’s $150,000 life insurance policy. Pam was the last person to see her “best friend,” Betsy Faria, alive, yet the police still accused Betsy’s husband, Russ, of her murder upon the initial investigation. When Russ first dialed 911, he assumed his wife had killed herself since he hadn’t taken part in the attack.
