Instead of looking for the easy answer - try doing some research. It's not as if you even have to pick up a book anymore.
Bloody Mary - look up urban legends. There was another one but I doubt you're looking for that one.
Lizzy Borden - American Historical figure (in a way)
Lizzy Borden took an axe
and gave her father 40 whacks. . . .
It has devolved into folklore as well.
Try this thing called Google - amazing thing that is.

I think what you are referring to is an American television production that was released as The Legend of Lizzie Borden (1975) starring Elizabeth Montgomery from the 60's TV show Bewitched. It basically laid out the whole story in flashbacks, while Ms. Borden awaited her verdict. It had a brilliant performance by Montgomery(probably her best "serious" role), and is fairly hard to find in any format. Occasionally it pops up on cable. There is a US and Foreign version(which contains slightly more nudity, Montgomery fans, don't get your hopes up. The photography is murky, the scenes are distorted and it's rumoured a body double was used). The film was part of a US television trend of docu-drama re-enactments of real crime stories. Some of the better ones - Helter Skelter, The Case of the Hillside Stranglers, To Catch a Killer and Guyana Tragedy: The Story of Jim Jones.

There used to be a site dedicated to this one film. If you Google about, you might trip over it. I think they sell VHS format copies. I have seen it in both versions(for. and US) and there really is not much difference. As far as the real Lizzie, she got off(the OJ of her era) and spent the rest of her life hiding in anonymity.

As far as Bloody Mary, she's delicious, the morning after a good drunk. :rolleyes:

You left out the porn star Bloody Mary, and I think you know why she picked that nickname up :eek:

Ooops - sorry - you are quite correct - my mistake :o

so, who is this "bloody mary"?? yes ive done the search shit, came up with little info

Abominus 09-30-2008 12:58 PM

This is obviously a setup, though I'm not sure what you're working towards. Type Bloody Mary into Google and you get a wiki with a whole list to choose from.

There are plenty of valid answers in this thread yet you don't really acknowledge them but ask again.

She's a drink, a historical figure, a urban legened a fictional character. Either pick one or get to the point.

On the other hand if you did legitimately search and could not find anything then I'm sorry for my rant and you fail at internet and should be removed.

found a bit of info on this BM person:

Mary I, daughter of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon, was born in 1516 and suffered through a terrible childhood of neglect, intolerance, and ill-health. She was a staunch catholic from birth, constantly resisting pressure from others to renounce her faith, a request she steadfastly refused. She married Philip II of Spain in 1555, but was unable to produce a child.

Mary began her tumultuous reign at 37 years of age, arriving in London amid a scene of great rejoicing. Following the disarray created by Edward VI's passing of the succession to Lady Jane Grey (Jane lasted only nine days), Mary's first act was to repeal the Protestant legislation of her brother, Edward VI, hurling England into a phase of severe religious persecution. Her major goal was the re-establishment of Catholicism in England, a goal to which she was totally committed. Persecution came more from a desire for purity in faith than from vengeance, yet the fact remains that nearly 300 people (including former Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Cranmer and many of the most prominent members of society) were burned at the stake for heresy, earning Mary the nickname, "Bloody Mary."

Mary's marriage to the militant Catholic Philip was again designed to enforce Roman Catholicism on the realm. Unfortunately for Mary, two factors compelled opposition to her plans: the English people hated foreigners - especially the Spanish - and twenty years of Protestantism had soured the English on popery. She met with resistance at every level of society, and, unlike her father and brother, failed to conform society into one ideological pattern. Philip II, cold and indifferent to both Mary and her realm, remained in England for only a short time. He coerced Mary to enter into war with France, resulting in defeat and the loss of the last English continental possession, Calais. With the retirement of his father, Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire, Philip returned to Spain; Mary died a mere ten months later.

England suffered during the reign of Mary I: the economy was in ruin, religious dissent reached a zenith and England lost her last continental territory. Jane Austen wrote this rather scathing commentary about Mary: "This woman had the good luck of being advanced to the throne of England, in spite of the superior pretensions, Merit and Beauty of her Cousins Mary Queen of Scotland and Jane Grey. Nor can I pity the Kingdom for the misfortunes they experienced during her reign, since they fully deserved them..."
