Christina Ricci Plays Lizzie Borden

Lizzie was accused and acquitted of killing her parents with an axe while they were sleeping in Fall River, Massachusetts in 1892.  I had no idea that she was believed to be a lesbian.  After her highly-publicized trial, Lizzie supposedly went on to have a relationship with actress Nance O’ Neill. On top of that, Love letters she'd written to a female were found after her death, and she also was known to have "women's gatherings" at her home.  Well, that is your history lesson for the day.  Actual news is that Christina Ricci will be playing Lezzy, I mean Lizzie, in a new project by Lifetime.  I couldn't find any solid information on whether or not they will touch on the lesbian angle.  Either way, I will watch it because Christina is involved.
