Spoiler
1. This actress won her only Oscar out of 5 nominations for portraying accused murderess Barbara Graham in the movie, I Want to Live! -- Susan Hayward
2. This Hungarian “Blood Countess” was allegedly responsible for the murders of hundreds of young women before the authorities went all Cask of Amontillado on her ass. -- can't recall
3. Born in 1910, this woman was part of a gang that carried out a string of robberies in the early 30’s, although there are conflicting reports on whether she was actually involved in any of the shootouts or killings. The spree only lasted a few years before she and her partner were killed in a May 1934 ambush. -- Bonnie Parker
4. This woman and her husband, Paul Bernardo, are possibly the most infamous killers in Canadian history. Responsible for the deaths of three woman (one being her sister) and suspected of others, she cut a deal for manslaughter and was released in 2005 after serving 12 years. -- NFC; guess I shoulda been Canadian
5. Mary Surratt was the first woman to be executed by the United States government, by hanging in 1865. She was found guilty of being a conspirator in what crime? -- the assassination of Lincoln
QOD: This woman has been accused of incest, helping to plot the murder of her second husband, dispatching people with poison that she carried in a ring and having an actual poisoner on staff (when she was just too busy to take care of it herself, I guess), among other things. History can prove none of this and actually shows that she was a decent person who just had the misfortune to be born into a family full of nefarious characters and ill tempered rounders. And, as she died at age 39 after the birth of her 8th child by her third husband, when would she have found the time? -- Lucrezia Borgia (I hope!)
15! Point Bonus: She got bossed into a lot of marriages and troubles by her daddy the Pope, who apparently thought he was all that and a bag. You get 5 points for his Pope name, 5 points for his Number and no points for his real name (oh, heck, I know that if you know it, you're going to mention it anyway, so I'll toss in another fin for that. Ha!) -- a Hail Mary for the pope name: Sextus
5 Point Bonus Bonus: Her brother was the real bad actor in the family. What was his name? -- Cesare Borgia?
5 Point Bonus Bonus Bonus: What’s the origin of today’s title? -- prolly a rock song, but alas NFC
