INVESTIGATION DISCOVERY SIGNS CHARISMA CARPENTER AS HOST OF ALL-NEW SERIES "I SURVIVED EVIL" (WT)
(Beverly Hills, CA) - Charisma Carpenter, best known for her role as Cordelia Chase on Buffy the Vampire
Slayer and its spin-off Angel, has signed a deal to host Investigation Discovery's new series, I SURVIVED
EVIL (wt). The show will feature dramatically compelling and emotional stories of victims who fought back
against their attackers and, against amazing odds, survived. The 10-episode first season of I SURVIVED
EVIL is slated to begin filming in August 2012.
Carpenter is the survivor of a real-life incident that she endured more than 20 years ago. The actress and two
friends were swimming at San Diego's Torrey Pines State Beach in 1991 when they were violently attacked by
an armed, rogue police officer. Carpenter fought for her survival after being held at gunpoint, but her two
friends were both shot by the attacker and seriously wounded. The police officer was sentenced to 56 years in
prison for the attacks in addition to a series of rapes and robberies.
"The fact that Charisma has personally lived through the tragic nightmare of being attacked - and thankfully, is
willing to share her ordeal with our viewers - makes her the perfect host for I SURVIVED EVIL," said Henry
Schleiff, president and general manager of Investigation Discovery. "In addition to being a face that her loyal
Buffy fans will recognize, Charisma adds an important layer of depth and perspective to this series that only a
survivor truly could."
I SURVIVED EVIL (wt) is produced by Cineflix (I Survived) Inc. for Investigation Discovery. For Cineflix,
Nick Godwin and Simon Lloyd are executive producers. For Investigation Discovery, Pamela Deutsch is
executive producer, Sara Kozak is senior vice president of production and Henry Schleiff is president and
general manager.
