Farrah Fawcett earned Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for her portrayal of Francine Hughes in the television movie The Burning Bed. The film is structured as a series of flashbacks while Francine's character endures a murder trial after she poured gasoline on her sleeping spouse and burned him to death. Her husband Mickey (Paul Le Mat) drove her over the edge after years of physical and emotional abuse when he rapes her. Television regular Richard Masur has a prominent co-starring role. Fawcett parlayed her work in this film into a series of more serious movies, including Extremities and Poor Little Rich Girl: The Barbara Hutton Story.

from Fort Lauderdale, Florida One of the Most Riveting Drama Ever Made.
Before this movie was made, I never in my wildest dreams, would believe that such atrocities ever existed. Men committing violent aggressions against the women they loved. it's totally unthinkable. Farrah Fawcett gives one the best performances of her career. This movie should teach our society about the consequences of domestic violence and what can be done to prevent it. Never hurt the ones you love.
