Natalee Holloway: A Case That Captivated The Nation

Elizabeth’s Story is Turned into a TV Movie

The story of Elizabeth’s kidnapping was turned into a 2003 made-for-TV movie that was based on Ed and Lois Smart’s book, Bringing Elizabeth Home. It was broadcast on CBS just eight months after she was found alive, walking in the street with Mitchell.

The film starred Amber Marshall, who played the role of Elizabeth and Dylan Baker, who played Elizabeth’s father Ed. The movie actually saw some critical success. Three of its stars were nominated for 2004 Young Artist Awards – each in separate categories that fell under Best Performance in a TV Movie Miniseries or Special.
