I wonder if Lizzie Borden's eyes looked like the actress Meg Foster's.
Interesting, Angel.

The color looks a good, steely blue. Boy, can she throw a sinister look!
Interesting, Angel.

I think, it is a very good possibility that Lizzie's eyes looked like Meg Foster's eyes.

Talk about a chilling look. That would do it!!

Her passport says gray for the color- pale eyes are always a little unnerving.

In November, 2003, on one of our Forums, I made this collage of blue/light eyes, to compare. It would be cool to have seen Lizzie's eyes in real life and in color!

Also, this song, by The Who - Behind Blue Eyes lyrics-
Makes me think of Lizzie:
No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
No one knows what it's like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies
But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free
No one knows what it's like
To feel these feelings
Like I do
And I blame you
No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through
But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free
When my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool
If I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
If I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat
No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes

I just read last night that early photo emulsions were not sensitive to blue light, which is why pre-1920s skies often look white. The negatives were also over-sensitive to reds and early silent film stars often used green lipstick to make their lips look more natural.
This might account for the way Lizzie's blue/grey eyes photographed. They might have looked somewhat different in real life.
