5. Dylan McDermott: heard when his mother died
Actor Dylan McDermott, best known for his roles in “American Horror Story”, was confronted with the harsh face of life when he was only a 5-year-old kid.
In 1967, McDermott’s mom dated John Sponza, a man who was heavily involved in the criminal underworld. One morning, he urged McDermott to go outdoors and play. He listened to the man, but little did he know what was going to happen next.
While he was outside, he heard his mother screaming and crying, and a gunshot too. She was killed by Sponza. The police came and said that the death was an accident, although McDermott knew it had been a homicide. The actor remembered that Sponza pointed weapons at him before. The case was reopened and Sponza was found guilty in 2011.
