the Producer/Director of films like "Born in Flames" and "Working Girls".
According to an article in the NY Times she chose Lizzie Borden as her name.
"From All Movie Guide: Born Linda Elizabeth Borden to an upper-class family, Lizzie Borden legally changed her name after hearing about the famous axe murderer."
Kinda sad, huh? Why would someone named Elizabeth feel the need to legally change her name to a well known variation of her own name? LOL every Elizabeth I know is a Liz or a Lizzie.
maybe to get her 15 minutes? Her work doesn't look like it can get it for her...
