LMN (Lifetime Movie Network)

I just found this on my cable, watched "The Governor's Wife" last night with Marilu Henner as killer and victim. They advertised a lot of cheesy-appearing movies, a lot of them made for TV and cable networks, with women killers and victims. Worth checking out! For instance Tuesday is "tainted love" night.

Where do you live? Have you just now discovered the Lifetime Network? It's been around at least 21 years.

"The Governor's Wife" also featured a scene of Marilu shooting an attractive female reporter in cold blood. (Too bad the victim was wearing pants.)

Can't attest much to the quality of Lifetime movies. They show basically 4 or 5 different movies, but remade over and over and over again. If it's a mystery/suspense-themed movie, you can bet your testies it will end with a fight over a gun or a knife, typically near a balcony or staircase. (If you want to see a clinic in cliches, watch a Lifetime movie!) However, these movies have been a rather fecund source of decent female death scenes.

I only recently got back on cable. Agreed the movies are riddled with cliches but that isn't why I watch these, mainly for the female victims. For good movies I go to TCM.

Some of the best female death scenes have come from really bad movies.

Agreed, but they are often difficult to find. That's why I love sites like these where you can exchange info and knowledge

It's still much more fun finding them on your own, in my opinion. I love sifting through VHS tapes at a used video or thrift store, searching for obscure movies from the 80's and 90's that may contain a gem of a female death scene.
