I remember when the Aileen Wuornos movie came out, my first thought was, "The kindest thing ever done for this woman was having her be portrayed by Peyton List."
Leona Helmsley has entered the chat.
The real one.

The woman they got to play her.

Suzanne Pleshette was always so gorgeous.
She could play a super model or the mom next door. And she was really funny.
I suspect the ugliness was contributory to her nastiness, so it really was wrong to cast a beauty in the role
What happened to making it clear who was good and who was bad by good being pretty/handsome and bad being ugly?

This book takes all the Disney princesses and makes them the baddies. Snow White is a vampire and Cinderella is a witch who drives the poor Prince insane.
