Christina Ricci talks Lifetime’s ‘Lizzie Borden Took an Ax’

January 9, 2014 Lori Acken

It’s the grisliest of children’s jump-rope rhymes: “Lizzie Borden took an ax/And gave her mother 40 whacks/When she saw what she had done/She gave her father 41.” In reality, 32-year-old Lizzie Andrew Borden likely wielded a hatchet to deliver 18 deadly whacks to her hated stepmother Abby; her father Andrew took 11 blows a few hours later. And a jury — unable to believe a woman could commit such savagery — quickly acquitted Borden of all charges, rendering the truth of her innocence a matter of public fascination even 121 years later. Now Lifetime takes its own whack at Borden’s […]

It’s Me, Margaret!!” laughs the Boogie Nights actress, who stars in Lifetime’s film adaptation of the tale of Corrine Dollanganger, a beautiful mother of four who returns to her own troubled childhood home after she’s widowed, unleashing a torrent of family secrets that leave her children imprisoned in their cruel grandmother Olivia’s (Ellen Burstyn) attic.

January 9, 2014 StayTuned Staff

The Spoils of Babylon premieres at 10 tonight on IFC. Never heard of Eric Jonrosh? Well, then, you’re missing out on one of the greatest literary minds the 20th century ever produced, a raconteur of prodigious wit that created unforgettable dramas that seared into the psyche and soul of America.

Taking aim squarely at those overwrought, bloated miniseries that were staples of the 1980s (think The Thorn Birds, The Winds of War), the six-part — ahem — saga follows the twisted […]
