As I mentioned above, I've personally seen that episode of ''American Justice''.  It is not fictionalized nor re-enacted in any way.  There are no acted scenes.  It's just a news documentary look at the case, including interviews.  IMDB is not saying that the people involved "played" themselves in acted scenes or anything like that.  Just that they appeared in the show as themselves . . . which is how the would list any news show that contains interviews.  There isn't any reason to assume "publicity-seeking" on the part of her husband than there is to to assume such of anyone else who grants a TV news interview. I agree that using IMDB specifically as a source can be somewhat dubious (and I suspect in their listing her, they're referring to her depiction in photographs of her as a young adult; indeed, one of the key points of this case was that she became such a recluse over her adult life that until she died, hardly anyone in town other than her husband even knew she existed), but I don't think that's the intention here, though.  I think the intent is to cite the show ''itself''.  IMDB is just where the show's info was found by the editor who cited it.  Citing the show is perfectly appropriate as a , since, as I said, the show was a news documentary
