The case was also the subject of two "true crime" books (Deadly Lessons and Teach Me to Kill), and a 1991 made-for-TV movie ("Murder in New Hampshire") starring Helen Hunt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-88033921248646621872014-07-10T12:17:37.310-04:002014-07-10T12:17:37.310-04:00Rosemary West.

I'm not excusing her, but a badly-broken person is going to act out in horrible ways. To me this is different than the wily, scheming femme fatale who is usually totally focused in a material goal (i.e., money).Debnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-86168082596483746892014-07-10T10:26:42.377-04:002014-07-10T10:26:42.377-04:00There has been a lot of speculation that Myra actu...There has been a lot of speculation that Myra actually encouraged him to commit the murders.

To me, a femme fatale is a woman who uses her "feminine wiles" to lure men to achieve her nefarious ends. Someone like the teacher who got her male student to murder her husband--the basis of that Nicole Kidman movie from some years ago.Debnoreply@blogger.com
