Aileen Wuornos - America's first female serial killer
Aileen Wuornos is notorious for being America's first female serial killer. Over the span of a year in 1989-1990, she killed 7 men in the central Florida area. She was arrested in January 1991 and executed in October 2002.
Charlize Theron portrayed her in the 2003 movie 'Monster' in which she won the Acedamy Award for best actress.
The story is intriguing, Aileen never had a chance in her life, she was just used and abused since the beginning. I cant help but feel bad for her, its so sad how people could have a chance in life, yet they are raised by completely evil people which leads them to such misfortune.
this is something i deffo need to read about and watch, both movie and documentary
Do it. They're both really good.
I've always felt badly for this woman. Her life was awful since childhood. Doesn't justify the fact that she took other human lives, but it places it in some sort of context.
the documentaries about her are really depressing. she has such a tragic background, though i don't fully believe her self defense story, even in the first murder.
