Captain America actress arrested for killing mom

An actress who had a small role in the movie Captain America: The First Avenger is accused of fatally stabbing her mother inside a suburban Kansas City home. Mollie Fitzgerald, 38, was arrested Tuesday by police in Olathe, Kansas, the Kansas City Star reported. She is charged with second-degree murder and jailed on $500,000 bond. It wasn't immediately clear if she had an attorney who could comment on her behalf. She's accused in the death of 68-year-old Patricia "Tee" Fitzgerald, who authorities say was found dead on December 20 inside her Olathe home.

The website IMDb said Mollie Fitzgerald is a movie director and producer as well as actress. She worked on mostly low-budget films, including The Lawful Truth in 2014 and The Creeps in 2017. In Captain America, she played Stark Girl and worked as an assistant to director Joe Johnson. The film grossed $176.6 million in the U.S. "Being a part of this production has been one of the best experiences of my life," Fitzgerald told a comic book publication in 2011.
