Loves...kinda the same difference. BTW, that song wasn't correct. No 40 whacks for the stepmom or 41 for the dad. It was more like, 19 and 10-11, respectively.

Movie Lizzie is just a bit more seexxy than real Lizzie, huh?

Andrew Borden was successful enough in the fields of manufacturing and real estate development to support his wife and two daughters, Emma and Lizzie, and employ servants to keep their home in order. Both Emma and Lizzie lived with their father and stepmother into adulthood.

I can't wait to see the costumes back in that time....okay, I don't mean to put a "fashion show" on everything, but I do love clothes.

Info I found:

The relationship between the Borden sisters and their stepmother, Abby Borden, was not close. They greeted her as "Mrs. Borden" and worried that Abby Borden's family sought to gain access to their father's money. Emma was protective of her younger sister and, together, the two sisters helped to manage the rental properties owned by Andrew Borden. The family attended the Congregationalist Church, an institution in which Lizzie was particularly involved.

Well if I had to eat the mutton stew this family did for days on end because Daddy was a cheap miser... I could have worn the corsets.

You can say that again Marianne.

From what I have been able to read there are no pics of Lizzie's sister Emma...only one sketch. Emma is described as thin and long faced and quite thin.
