Aileen Wuornos: Female Serial Killer

From 1989 to 1990, prostitute Aileen Wuornos murdered seven men in Florida, later claiming they had raped her. She shot each man several times. She welcomed her pending execution, telling the Florida Supreme Court, "I'm one who seriously hates human life and would kill again." She was put to death by lethal injection in 2002; the following year, Charlize Theron played her in the movie "Monster," and ended up winning an Oscar.
