At first I was struck by how well Charlize Theron was made over to look like Aileen Wuornos. It seemed uncanny.
Aileen Wuornos:
Charlize Theron as Aileen Wuornos:
Then I was struck by how different Christina Ricci's character looked from Aileen Wuornos's actual girlfriend, Tyria Moore.
Tyria Moore:
Selby Wall (movie version of Tyria Moore):
It makes sense. Tyria Moore is alive. They can't use her name and they probably don't want to risk making somebody look just like her. But really I think this gave them (why do I keep saying "them" without any actual finger pointed at exactly who "they" are?) the opportunity to put somebody hottish in the movie. You can't have hot lesbian sex scenes in a female serial killer movie if at least one of the lesbians isn't attractive.
I'm mostly posting this to show Anni, I think.
