Lizzie Borden (born February 3, 1958, Detroit, Michigan) is an American filmmaker. Originally named Linda Elizabeth Borden, she took on the name of the American folklore figure Lizzie Borden in the early 1970s.
Borden is known for the film Born in Flames (1983), which premiered at the Berlin Film Festival and won several awards, concerning the racial, class, and political conflicts in a future United States socialist democracy. It is distributed by First Run Features and was named one of "The Most Important 50 Independent Films" by Filmmaker Magazine. It has been studied in numerous feminist texts. Borden also wrote, directed, and produced a successful yet highly controversial independent fiction film Working Girls in 1986, depicting the working lives of prostitutes. It premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in the Director's Fortnight, won best Feature at the Sundance Film Festival and was distributed by Miramax. Her next film, the only one not based on an original script, was Love Crimes (1992). It starred Sean Young and Patrick Bergin, and was subjected to much studio interference. Borden has subsequently directed episodes of Red Shoes Diaries, Alex Mack and other episodic television, directed theater in Los Angeles and has written a script about Bob Marley based on Rita Marley's autobiography No Woman No Cry (however, this project has been listed as "in development" on IMDb for quite some time). Biography
Nommée à sa naissance Linda Elisabeth Borden, elle décide à l'âge de 11 ans de prendre le nom de la meurtrière Lizzie Borden, accusée pour double meurtre dans les années 1890 au Massachusetts. Elle est inspirée par la comptine suivante :
Lizzie Borden took an axe
And gave her father forty whacks,
When she saw what she had done,
She gave her mother forty-one
Qui peut être traduite par :
Lizzie Borden prit une hache
Et frappa quarante fois son père,
Quand elle vit ce qu'elle avait fait,
Elle frappa quarante-et-une fois sa mère.
Elle annonce à ses parents qu'elle va légalement changer son nom. Elle déclare à ce sujet : « À l'époque, changer de nom était la meilleur rébellion que je pouvais faire ».
