'Captain America' Actor Arrested for Killing Mother Charges

Actor Mollie Fitzgerald, who is best known for her role in Captain America: The First Avenger was recently arrested by police in Kansas, charged with second-degree murder and jailed on $500,000 bond.

Fitzgerald is accused of fatally stabbing her mother inside a suburban Kansas City home.

Kansas City Star reported that it wasn't immediately clear if she had an attorney who could comment on her behalf.

She's accused in the death of 68-year-old Patricia "Tee" Fitzgerald, who authorities say was found dead on Dec. 20 inside her Olathe home.

In Captain America, she played Stark Girl and worked as an assistant to the director, Joe Johnson. The film grossed $176.6 million in the U.S.

"Being a part of this production has been one of the best experiences of my life," Fitzgerald told a comic book publication in 2011.

Patricia Fitzgerald was in the process of moving back to the Kansas City area after living several decades in the Houston area, her brother, Gary Hunziker, told the Star.
