My name is Beth Dean and I'm a web designer from Cleveland Ohio. I work for Progressive Insurance as a UX Developer.

In watching that movie she seems like this genuis artist. She pioneered a certain kind of filmstock (don't know much about photography so I can't elaborate) and hand edited all of her movies. At 93 she got her scuba certification, lying about her age and managing to pass for 50. So it's hard to look at someone so creative and intriguing and believe they've done terrible things, but her own defenses/excuses are fairly weak at best. I don't know if we'll ever know if she's just a scapegoat or something more sinister. I read that somewhere also. In watching that movie she seems like this genuis artist.

I heard that Jodie Foster has been working to get the rights to play Leni in a film ... not sure how that would turn out, if it ever does. I’ve always been similarly fascinated/horrified by her.
