Lizzie Borden played a pivotal role in the life of serial killer Aileen Wuornos in Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story, but was there any truth to the fictional account?

We know that Lizzie remained an unmarried woman for the rest of her free life after being acquitted of the murders of her parents, and there’s no evidence of a sexual or romantic relationship with men or women in her past.

The 'emetophobia' triggering scene in Ryan Murphy's new Monster: The Story of Lizzie Borden series is actually based on a real-life event.

Lizzie died on June 1, 1927. Nine days later, her sister, Emma, who was the sole surviving member of the Borden family, died in Newmarket, N.H., at the age of 76, The New York Times reported. Her cause of death was chronic nephritis with senility, according to The Herald News.

Bridget Sullivan, Lizzie Borden’s Irish maid who was also called “Maggie,” is a major character in Ryan Murphy’s new Netflix series, Monster: The Lizzie Borden story.

Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan have widened the story beyond Borden, bringing together notorious women from different periods

Brennan peels back the curtain into his and Ryan Murphy's 'Monster' selection process, how they landed on the infamous female axe murderer for season four and why she's the most sympathetic subject yet of their hit Netflix true-crime anthology.
