Christina Ricci resurrects lead character Lizzie Borden in Lifetime Movie Network's retelling of the famous unsolved murders of Andrew and his second wife in Lizzie Borden Took an Axe on January 25 at 8 p.m., 7 Central time. Clea DuVall plays Emma, Lizzie's older sister, who was away from the Borden home at the time of the murders. Will this tv movie erase memories of the Elizabeth Montgomery version made in 1975, when Christina Ricci was minus 5? Early looks at this entry in the Lizzie videography from Variety, the Los Angeles Times.
A number of scholars have studied Lizzie's path through law and popular culture. Here's a short and highly selective bibliography.
