Juliana Hansen (Yvonne Zima) is the hidden main villainess of the 2016 Lifetime film Killing Mommy (originally titled Deadly Daughters; airdate June 11, 2016).
Juliana grew up wealthy and became used to getting what she wanted, despite opposition from her father Harlan. One day, after having an argument in the garage while he was working on a car, Juliana killed her father by dropping the car down on top of him. She then left the house and returned later to "discover" the body and make it look like his death was an accident. Her father's death would have a great impact on Debra, Juliana's already troubled twin sister (also played by Zima).
After finding out that her mother Eve has cancelled her credit cards and was planning to sell the family house to move in with her fiancee Winston, Juliana greatly objected. Later, when meeting with Debra to apologize for a fight they had during a birthday dinner, Juliana revealed her mother's plans to sell the house, causing Debra to angrily confront her at work. With the pieces of her evil scheme all in place, Juliana began her plan by kidnapping Debra outside the bar she often visits, chloroforming her and tying her to a chair in a shed near the cabin their family owned. After that, Juliana dressed as Debra, tries to run Eve over with her car, and vandalized Winston's car, making it appear as though Debra had gone over the edge. When she goes back to Debra, she revealed that she planned to kill her and Eve, make it look like a murder-suicide, and then collect the insurance money for herself. She also revealed how she killed their father before leaving Debra alone. Later on, Juliana took Debra's boyfriend Deke to Debra's apartment, him having figured out who she really was and finding her dressing as Debra "kinky". The two begin to have sex before Juliana suffocates him to death. After she and Eve met with the police, Juliana called her mother later that night, telling her that Debra called from the cabin and sounded as though she was going to kill herself.
Juliana then returned back to the cabin only to find that Debra has broken free of her restraints. She chased after her sister for a bit, firing at her with a gun. Just as Debra wrestled the gun away from Juliana, Eve shows up with her own gun and pointed it at Debra, believing her to be the dangerous one. Eve eventually caught Juliana in a lie and realized Juliana's villainous nature, causing the evil Juliana to pick up the dropped gun and point it at Eve. She taunted Eve, saying she wouldn't shoot her favorite daughter, but her taunts end up backfiring when Eve did (off-screen) just that. Juliana survived the shot, and afterwards was arrested, convicted, and sent to prison.
Juliana was last seen in prison, working in the kitchen, while a fellow inmate harassed her, gloating about her failed schemes and the fact that Juliana is no longer a "spoiled, little rich girl", just an imprisoned woman who will have nothing for the rest of her life.
Trivia[]
- Yvonne Zima also played psychotic villainesses Gillian Casey in the 2014 Lifetime film The Girl He Met Online, and Sienna Lawton in the 2020 Lifetime film Killer Prom.
- Juliana Hansen is similar to fellow Lifetime film villainess Allie Banks (from Twin Betrayal), as both were evil twins who framed their sister for murder as part of a greedy scheme. In addition, these villainesses committed their actions while posing as their twin sisters. Two differences: Allie had accomplices in her scheme, while Juliana worked alone, and Juliana's attempt to kill her mother was thwarted while Allie's plan to kill her father was successful.
