Helen Golay and Olga Rutterschmidt looked like two normal elderly women who would attend services at the First Presbyterian Church in Hollywood. They would also volunteer and help the homeless, eager to give any of the down and out men a hello or an encouraging word. They went so far as to take two of them into one of the many apartments Helen Golay owned. They would house, feed and clothe them. But there was an ulterior motive to their benevolence. They would apply for numerous life insurances for the vagrants, sometimes up to a one million dollars. Then they would list themselves as the beneficiaries. After two years, the insurance company would be forced to pay out as the elderly women knew that was the time when the policy became uncontestable according to California law. Helen and Olga would sign the homeless men up for the life insurance and count the days after the policies became official. They would then ply the men with drugs and lay their unconscious bodies in a side alley, late at night. Then they would run over them with their car. Knowing that hit-and-run were not part of the connect the dot murder scenarios by law enforcement, the savvy senior citizens had gotten away with their crimes for years. Until they made one mistake...

You've heard of Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy. But have you heard of Amy Archer-Gilligan? Or Belle Gunness? Or Nannie Doss? Women have committed some of the most disturbing serial killings ever seen in the United States. Yet scientific inquiry, criminal profiling, and public interest have focused more on their better-known male counterparts. As a result, female serial killers have been misunderstood, overlooked, and underestimated. In this riveting account, Dr. Marissa A. Harrison draws on original scientific research, various psychological perspectives, and richly detailed case studies to illuminate the stark differences between female and male serial killers' backgrounds, motives, and crimes. She also emphasizes the countless victims of this grisly phenomenon to capture the complexity and tragedy of serial murder. Meticulously weaving data-based evidence and insight with intimate storytelling, Just as Deadly reveals how and why these women murder—and why they often get away with it.

Winner of the 2008 Gradiva Award, Theoretical Category, presented by the National Association for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis The Real Gaze develops a new theory of the cinema by rethinking the concept of the gaze, which has long been central in film theory. Historically film scholars have located the gaze on the side of the spectator; however, Todd McGowan positions it within the filmic image, where it has the radical potential to disrupt the spectator's sense of identity and challenge the foundations of ideology. This book demonstrates several distinct cinematic forms that vary in terms of how the gaze functions within the films. Through a detailed investigation of directors such as Orson Welles, Claire Denis, Stanley Kubrick, Spike Lee, Federico Fellini, Ron Howard, Steven Spielberg, Andrei Tarkovsky, Wim Wenders, and David Lynch, McGowan explores the political, cultural, and existential ramifications of these differing roles of the gaze.
