Bethenny Frankel is stepping out of her The Real Housewives of New York City shoes once again as she takes on a new acting role for Lifetime's Danger in the Dorm.
This is Frankel's first acting role in over ten years, though she has been on television during this time.
Her role as Jill in The Neighbors Episode 21 was her first acting role since the 1990s, and now she's back for a major movie appearance.
Bethenny Frankel to Star in Danger in the Dorm
Danger in the Dorm is a far cry from reality TV as it follows true crime novelist Ann Rule's story of the same name.
Bethenny Frankel is more than a former Housewife, though. She's a television personality, entrepreneur, author, and philanthropist.
Now, we can add Lifetime actress to her resume as she stars alongside Clara Alexandrova (A Million Little Things).

Kyra Sedgwick, Kim Raver, Ashley Williams, Elisabeth Röhm, and Robin Givens all have something in common: they are actors who recently hopped into the director’s chair.
The five female filmmakers looked back on their journey to director at TheWrap’s annual Power Women Summit, speaking on a panel titled “Broader Focus: View from the Director’s Chair,” moderated by Tanya Lopez. Executive Vice President, Movies, Limited Series & Original Movie Acquisitions, Lifetime & Lifetime Movie. The panel was presented by Lifetime.
“I was the person who never had that voice — my voice was, ‘you will never direct,'” Sedgwick said. “I’ve been working professionally as an actor from the time I was 16 and I’d worked with a lot of legendary directors, all of whom were men… my loving husband kept saying to me, ‘you have such big opinions about the way things are directed… what about the concept of you directing one day?...

Stockholm Syndrome is a fascinating and disturbing phenomenon. It was at the heart of A Murder to Remember, an adaptation of true-crime novelist Ann Rule's work.
The film presented Stockholm differently -- it was in a manner we're not used to seeing.
The film is also the directorial debut of Lifetime veteran actress, Robin Givens, and for her first venture, she did a fantastic job.
A Murder to Remember unfolded like a mystery. Viewers were left in the dark every bit as much as Robin.
She only had fractured memories left to piece together. They came to her in flashes as she tried to recall what happened to her husband during a camping trip that went wrong.
The Riveras were young newlyweds and so sweet together as they embarked on a trip to celebrate their first anniversary.
They were playful, loving, and head over heels for one another. Sadly,...
