Lake Placid Series Episode 1

Do have a cow, man!  

Betty White trades in her Golden Girls for an equally snappy and leathery new roommate in the 1999 creature comedy Lake Placid. Can big city paleontologist Bridget Fonda (Single White Female) work with locals Bill Pullman (ID4) and Brendan Gleeson (Braveheart) to capture a 30-foot crocodile that’s migrated to Maine?  And what makes Oliver Platt (Flatliners) so irresistible to reptiles and Deputy Meredith Salinger (Dream A Little Dream) alike? Donate Now to see if TV talents David E. Kelley and Steve Miner can rehome the Animal Attacks genre to the big screen.
