‘Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story’ Fact Check: What’s Real and What’s Not?
Prepare for the wildest season of the Netflix true crime anthology series yet The post ‘Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story’ Fact Check: What’s Real and What’s Not? appeared first on TheWrap .
The fourth season of Netflix's crime thriller "Monster" takes liberties with the Lizzie Borden case, as it is not unusual for the show to dramatize events. However, there are significant inaccuracies in the depiction of the Borden case. The series was filmed primarily in Los Angeles, with some scenes shot at castles in Rome, including those related to Hungarian noblewoman and alleged serial killer Elizabeth Báthory.
The real Lizzie Borden house is now a bed and breakfast in Fall River, Massachusetts, and has not been used as the filming location for the Netflix series. Lizzie Borden was acquitted of the murders of her father, Andrew Borden, and stepmother, Abby Durfee Gray, despite being tried for the crimes. There is no historical evidence suggesting that Lizzie Borden was a lesbian. The Netflix series does depict a close friendship between Lizzie and stage actress Nance O'Neil.
