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

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

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

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.
