TNT's 'I am the Night', helmed by Patty Jenkins, is one of the most anticipated shows of the year and it is by no sheer accident that the 'Wonder Woman' director got this opportunity. Fauna Hodel, the woman on whom the heart-wrenchingly twisted tale is centered on, knew she wanted Jenkins to tell her story, according to her daughters Yvette Gentile and Rasha Pecoraro.

Both women vouch that their mother was a fairy, who sprinkled her fairy dust wherever she went, and everything going on in their lives – including 'I am the Night' and the companion podcast 'Root of Evil', which they are co-hosting – is all thanks to her.
