## Caption

Mary Jo Connery is fine, and she thanks you for asking. But under the circumstances — those going back almost 34 years, in fact — this is one question she does get a lot.

Her other name, the vastly better-known one, is Mary Jo Buttafuoco. She's still got a bullet lodged in her jaw from the shooting. And she's still got pain.

At least three TV movies were made — execrable ones — about the "Long Island Lolita," which to this day remains shorthand for the crime that once transfixed a nation and the tabloid TV industry. Yet another, "I Am Mary Jo Buttafuoco," arrives on Lifetime.
