The truth behind Netflix&#8217;s Monster"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story changes quite a lot of Nance O\u2019Neil\u2019s story, including the timeline of her friendship with Lizzie. The same goes for the suggestion that the actress was taking advantage of <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/2026\/09\/18\/lizzie-bordens-dad-andrew-had-a-seriously-huge-net-worth-but-where-did-all-that-money-go\/\">Lizzie&#8217;s inheritance<\/a>, although there is some truth to this part.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the fourth chapter of <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/tag\/ryan-murphy\/\">Ryan Murphy<\/a> and Ian Brennan\u2019s Netflix series, <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/2026\/09\/21\/truth-about-nance-oneils-relationship-with-lizzie-borden-as-netflixs-monster-got-it-wrong\/\">Lizzie (Ella Beatty) is introduced to Nance O\u2019Neil<\/a> (Jessica Barden) as she stars in a stage production of A Midsummer Night&#8217;s Dream.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Notably, their friendship starts before the <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/2026\/09\/29\/monster-netflix-1892-lizzie-borden-crime-scene-photos-reveal-what-investigators-missed\/\">1892 murders of Andrew and Abby Borden<\/a>. Thanks to Nance\u2019s experience in acting, she ends up coaching Lizzie for her 1893 trial, helping her to convince the jury she\u2019s innocent (which, of course, includes showing a little ankle).&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But in real life, the pair didn\u2019t meet until 1904, long after the trial that led to Lizzie being acquitted.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Monster jumps forward in time, Lizzie is shown living a life of luxury at her Maplecroft mansion with her sister. She and <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/2026\/09\/28\/netflix-left-out-what-happened-to-emma-borden-after-lizzie-was-arrested-and-how-she-died\/\">Emma Borden (Billie Lourd)<\/a> inherited around $300,000 after their father\u2019s death &#8211; worth over $10 million today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nance pays Lizzie a visit, describing her travels around the world (all thanks to Lizzie being her patron). But even that\u2019s not enough &#8211; she tells Lizzie of her dreams of leaving the stage and making it as a film star. And for that, she\u2019s going to need \u201cquite a bit more\u201d money from Lizzie and her wealthy friends.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Did Nance O\u2019Neil really use Lizzie Borden for her money?<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9713\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9713\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9713\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/09\/monster-netflix-did-nance-oneil-use-lizzie-borden-for-her-money-1.jpg\" alt=\"Lizzie and Nance in Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/09\/monster-netflix-did-nance-oneil-use-lizzie-borden-for-her-money-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/09\/monster-netflix-did-nance-oneil-use-lizzie-borden-for-her-money-1-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/09\/monster-netflix-did-nance-oneil-use-lizzie-borden-for-her-money-1-768x403.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9713\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Credit: Netflix<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s no definitive evidence to prove that the real Nance deliberately befriended or used Lizzie for her inheritance, but this wasn\u2019t entirely invented by Netflix. What is documented is that Lizzie was extremely generous towards Nance and her theatre friends, often throwing lavish parties for them at Maplecroft.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Writer Tina Kate Rouse wrote in \u2018Queen of Tragedy: The Career of Nance O\u2019Neil\u2019 that Lizzie even kept records of money she had loaned Nance. \u201cIn 1905, she wrote to Nance\u2019s friend and fellow actress Ricca Allen complaining about outstanding loans, which are believed to have never been repaid,\u201d Rouse said.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 1904, it\u2019s believed Lizzie even helped Nance on a downpayment for a nearby farm property, although whether this is true is up for debate. Similarly, it\u2019s also debated whether Lizzie was in love with Nance.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/tag\/monster\/\">Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story<\/a> actually depicts Lizzie in a romantic relationship with the Bordens\u2019 live-in maid, Bridget \u201cMaggie\u201d Sullivan, despite there being no evidence that this was true.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rumours about Lizzie\u2019s sexuality have circulated over the years, but some historians believe this is more due to the attitudes towards women at the time and the fact that Lizzie never married.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whatever the case, Rouse argued, \u201cHow deep the friendship became between Lizzie and Nance is not known, although it is clear O\u2019Neil took advantage of Lizzie\u2019s money.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What happened to Nance O\u2019Neill?<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9714\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9714\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9714\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/09\/monster-netflix-did-nance-oneil-use-lizzie-borden-for-her-money.jpg\" alt=\"The real Nance O'Neil\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1514\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/09\/monster-netflix-did-nance-oneil-use-lizzie-borden-for-her-money.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/09\/monster-netflix-did-nance-oneil-use-lizzie-borden-for-her-money-812x1024.jpg 812w, https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/09\/monster-netflix-did-nance-oneil-use-lizzie-borden-for-her-money-768x969.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9714\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Credit: Public Domain<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/2026\/09\/22\/netflixs-monster-doesnt-show-her-final-year-so-heres-how-lizzie-borden-actually-died\/\">Lizzie died in June 1927<\/a> from pneumonia at age 66, but Nance went on to live for almost four decades after this, eventually dying in February 1965 at age 90. The actress died at the Lillian Booth Actors Home in Englewood, New Jersey, where she\u2019d been living in her final years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for her friendship with Lizzie, Nance later said the pair simply \u201cdrifted apart\u201d and stopped corresponding, describing their friendship as \u201cships that pass in the night.\u201d She also said they never discussed the Borden murders.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And Nance did achieve the film career Monster shows her wanting. She appeared in silent films from the 1910s before moving into talking pictures, including The Rogue Song, Ladies of Leisure and the Oscar-winning Cimarron.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She continued acting on Broadway into the 1930s, and also married fellow actor Alfred Hickman in 1916, remaining with him until his death in 1931.
