In 1927, he became the murder of the media circus and a famous movie.

A housewife and salesman had an affair, then hatched the conspiracy to kill her husband and demanded insurance money when he died. If this sounds like a black movie plot, it is because it is; this is the plot of James Kane’s 1943 crime novel “Double Compensation” and the 1944 film adaptation. But this is also what happens in the real crimes that Double Indemnity is based on.

On March 20, 1927, Ruth Snyder claimed that two “giant Italians” broke into her house in Queens and stunned her. She said they tied her up and left her in the hallway. Then, when her 9-year-old daughter was still asleep, they killed her husband and stole her jewelry.

The police immediately suspected that Snyder did not seem to have been eliminated. They also found her “stolen” jewelry stuffed under her mattress. Within a few hours, she gave up the name of the married corset salesman who slept with Henry Judd Gray and nailed the murder to him.

When the police arrived in Gray, he confessed but accused Snyder of tempting him and planning to murder her husband, the art editor of the motorboat magazine. The police also found that just before her husband was murdered, Snyder forged a double compensation insurance policy in his name because he accidentally died nearly $100,000.

In addition to failed insurance fraud, one of the most significant aspects of crime is how Snyder and Gray can do nothing. They hit him with heavy objects in the window, killed Snyder’s husband, stuffed the chloroform-soaked cotton into his nose and strangled him with a frame. They tried to cover it up as a bad “break into”, and when the story fell, the former lovebirds immediately turned to each other.

At the time, journalist Damon Runyon called it “dumbbell murder” because it was too stupid. However, in the past year, it has received “the attention of the press, which is not commensurate with the importance of murder to society as a whole,” said Maurine Beasley, a professor of journalism at the University of Maryland. “These are not politicians, these people are not important, these are not celebrities – these are ordinary people.”

The driving force behind this report is the Daily Graphic, the daily news and the New York tabloid news battle between William Randolph Hearst’s Daily Mirror. In order to transcend each other, they have locked in stories that have little to do with the public and draw readers with sensational details. The tabloid “has not hesitated to fabricate details because it does not strictly follow the facts,” Beasley said. Prior to Snyder and Gray, the New York tabloid triggered a similar media sensation in the murder of a pastor and chorus in New Jersey in 1922.

In the report, the tabloid turned Snyder and Gray into sensational figures in Hollywood movies. This is especially true for Snyder, who became the beauty of the story. The tabloid described her as a “synthetic blonde murderer”, a “vampire’s wife” – the most unusual – “ruthless Ruth, Queen’s Village Viking Ice Girl”, Penelope Pelizzon and Nancy West in 2005 10 Written in a narrative article of the month.

Gray also often speaks to tabloids and portrays himself as a victim. Before Snyder and Gray’s trial began, he described his relationship with Snyder’s “Daily News”: “She will put her face one inch away from me, watching deeply. My eyes, until I am completely her. When she hypnotizes my thoughts with her eyes, she will pat my cheek with my palm to control my body.”

Such reports have aroused public interest in the case. “There are 1,500 people packed in court every day, and as many as 2,000 people besieged the streets,” Jessie Ramey wrote in an article in the Spring 2004 Social History Journal. The hawker sells fake tickets for $50, and souvenir vendors sell sticks with murder weapons – belt weight – ten cents.

How did the whole legend end? In James Cain’s novella, the salesman (selling insurance instead of a corset) fled to a ship in Latin America, only to find that his female accomplice was also on board. Because the criminal records in the newspapers have become “sensational”, they are afraid of being arrested, and they will all commit suicide by jumping off the building at night. In the movie version of double compensation, it was not taken out of the country. The celluloid salesman killed his girlfriend and waited for the police to take him away.

But somehow, the real ending of the story is more morbid.

How to wear an OG blockbuster like Sophia Roland like 2018

Sophia Loren was there before we brought Tom Kardashian West to Tom Ford for Gucci thongs and Versace chain mail dresses.

The Italian actress concentrated on the sultry fashion in the 1950s and 1960s, her chest-enhanced bodice, tight-fitting dress, and her seaside shorts. She even looks tempting in a simple pair of jeans and a striped T-shirt.

Roland has an enviable confidence and a gorgeous figure. She never deprives her of her hobbies, nor is she a person who discusses her fitness habits if she wanders around Rome or starred in Hollywood’s main movie.

Roland is proud of her body and is still 84 years old today. We can all learn one or two things from Ms. Dolce Vita. Her clothes are just to show her sexy style without apology and her preference for beautiful fashion.

Today, to celebrate her birthday, there are seven ways to do some blockbusters like Loren, not including championships, PVC or Kardashian-approved underwear.

Jenna Coleman studies maternity and brings Queen Victoria to life

I am now on the corset at the airport,” Jenna Coleman said with a smile. She called from Victoria’s phone and explained the intermittent buzz of our conversation.

But we are not discussing Victoria now (we will certainly do this – later). We are discussing Coleman’s latest TV series “Cry”, which literally speaks far beyond her depiction of the cursed monarch. Coleman is located in a coastal town in Australia, playing Joe, a woman’s mental state and relationship unraveling when her baby disappears.

“This relationship with the mother and the relationship with the child is very important,” she talked about the roles and research. “Obviously I am not a mother, so it is an interesting thing to be closely related. Fortunately, I have many friends who have just given birth, so they are very helpful. Some of them also sent me. Some real, inner details tell the daily reality of being a mother.”

“Some things you didn’t really think of so much,” she continued. “Even the logistics of leaving the house and the questions about your identity. This is an eye-opening process.”

Complex emotional exploration is not the only challenge Coleman finds in his role. Her first psychological thriller, the plot is intricate, the plot twists and turns, keeping the truth beyond the mastery of the audience. “This is about things you won’t give up,” she said. “You often put your card on your chest.”

Although the scene is painful, the atmosphere during the shooting is far from this. “It became very enjoyable, dizzy and happier because it was so emotionally a roller coaster. We just wanted to get rid of it, so it actually turned into an extreme opposite between the two.”

Coleman’s career trajectory brought her into some wonderful TV series – from Waterloo Road to Mystery Doctor, perhaps most notably, as the Queen Victoria described above in her growing drama – when she boarded The throne was married to Prince Albert. Which part of the job does she think is the most valuable?

“When you are given life, it is such a gift,” she thought. “Things like Victoria can grow up with this character. To be a few series, she is old now, we have seven children!”

However, there are countless opportunities to appear on yourself every day, and often have the opportunity to turn her hand to something new that appeals to actresses. “We are doing the stadium next week, so I am learning polka now, one of them is a large wig from Georgia,” Coleman said with a smile. “I think this is change. There is not much time to be bored. This is an amazing thing.”

Mariah Carey, 49, presents her famous assets on a bodice while having dinner with friends in West Hollywood.

As her latest music video will prove again – she has never been afraid to show off her sensational curves.

Maria Kelly was no different on Monday night, and Mariah Carey showed her wafer shape while dining with friends in West Hollywood.

The 49-year-old female singer’s crumbling black corset top caused everyone’s attention to her famous assets.

On the night of Le Meridien, the opera actress and her girlfriend had dinner and enjoyed a two-hour dinner. Her boyfriend Bryan Tanaka is nowhere to be seen.

Just last week, Maria released a new musical “GTFO” in which she placed a mysterious, unnamed lover in the explosion.

Although she did not reveal any names, it is speculated that the singer is taking a fierce attack on her former fiance, Australian billionaire James Packer, a relationship that broke out in a legal fireworks explosion two years ago. .

The acronym for Get The F * ck Out, the first single in the opera since the messy breakup.

Although it sounds very quiet, her lyrics are not prisoners.

“You take my love for granted / you make me lost, no longer fantasizing / overthrowing my heart, as if you have a plan,” Kelly sings, then re-sings ‘how’ round your f * ck?

Critics say this sounds much harder than the romantic ballads whose names soared in the 1990s.
