Violette Nozière (11 January 1915 – 26 November 1966) was a French woman who was convicted of murdering her father. Chabrol's 1978 film of the same name was based on this case. During the trial, she accused her father of having sexually abused her, making it one of the first cases of incest to appear in the French modern press. Life Nozière was a bright child who gradually became wayward. As a young woman, she was indulged and supplemented her allowance with occasional surreptitious prostitution. As a result, she contracted syphilis and, when she became ill, her doctor felt obliged to tell her parents.

Life Eva Marie Veigel was born in Vienna.

As Chester says, "Nothing appears to be absolutely known concerning her origin." There is some doubt as to her paternity, with some saying she was the daughter of a respectable Viennese businessman named John Veigel; but Veigel and her husband were known to say she was of noble paternity. Guido Wald Rüdiger, Count of Starhemberg and Richard Boyle, the Earl of Burlington are thought the most likely candidates if this claim is true. Boyle was reported to have given £6,000 as a marriage portion and to have acknowledged her as a natural ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
