FROM REEL" LIFE....
On June 3, 1988, in Beverly Hills, California, Myra Davis, 71, was found nude face up on her bed. She had been raped and strangled. A former actress, Davis was one of Janet Leigh's "body doubles" for the chilling shower scene in Alfred Hitchcock's classic film Psycho. Now it was her own murder that had been played out with shocking brutality.
