A real-life ‘Seduction’; what’s your favorite pot-boiler?
Apparently, the Pacific Northwest is abuzz over the steamy mystery involving a stripper and murder in Anchorage — a murder that mirrors the plot of a 1994 movie. The drama in Alaska goes something like this, according to the Associated Press story:
In the 1994 movie “The Last Seduction,” a femme fatale coaxes her lover into killing her husband for money. Prosecutors say a beautiful stripper obsessed with the film followed the script to its murderous end…
Life and art were so similar, prosecutors say, that they even sought, unsuccessfully, to have the movie shown to the jury…
Linehan - then known as Mechele Hughes - was one of the top girls at a strip club called the Great Alaska Bush Co. in 1996. A former co-worker said she was so sexy, she didn’t have to dance to earn big tips; men would pay just to talk to her.
Prosecutors say that is where the blonde borrowed the plot of “The Last Seduction” and had her fiance, 36-year-old fisherman Kent Leppink, killed.
Have you seen “The Last Seduction”? Here’s more about that movie from the Internet Movie Database. What’s your favorite pot-boiler murder/mystery? I’d have to say that for me, it’s The Manchurian Candidate — the original one with Angela Lansbury, Laurence Harvey and Frank Sinatra, of course.
Or perhaps you’re more of a Double Indemnity person? Or something more recent? Perhaps another of my favorites, Body Heat? Oh, and don’t just say what you like, but why.
