Thrice in Love With Amy: Not one, not two, but three television movies are in the works telling the story of Amy Fisher, the New York teen-ager who was sentenced this week to serve five to 15 years in prison for shooting the wife of the man she claimed was her lover. ABC’s movie starring Drew Barrymore is based on the court records of the case and has a Jan. 24 air date. NBC bought the rights to Fisher’s own story and has cast Noelle Parker in the lead role. Alyssa Milano will play Fisher for CBS, which purchased the rights from Mary Jo and Joseph Buttafuoco, the wife and husband involved. Air dates for the NBC and CBS versions have not been announced yet.
