ST. LOUIS — Renee Zellweger’s dog needed a new hip.
The vet who was going to perform the procedure was in San Francisco, and it’s a long drive on Interstate 5 from the Los Angeles area to San Francisco. Back and forth along the way, Zellweger binged the “Dateline” podcast “The Thing About Pam,” which delves into the story of convicted murderer Pamela Hupp.
“This was one of those stories that you couldn’t make up … I couldn’t believe it. It was an experience of escalating absurdities,” Zellweger said on a Zoom call promoting a six-part NBC miniseries based on the story, also titled “The Thing About Pam.”
