Anne Perry
Anne Perry (born Juliet Marion Hulme; 28 October 1938 – 10 April 2023) was a British writer and murderer.After serving a five-year sentence for the murder, Perry had changed her name (formerly Juliet Hulme) and returned to the United Kingdom.She was identified by the media following the release of the film Heavenly Creatures, directed by Peter Jackson, which is based on the case.[6] The two teenage friends, who had created a complicated fantasy life together populated with celebrities such as Mario Lanza and James Mason, did not want to be separated.As they were too young to be considered for the death penalty under New Zealand law at the time, they were convicted and sentenced to be "detained at Her Majesty's pleasure".All I could think of was that my life would fall apart and that it might kill my mother.She continued writing and said that she was surprised that her friends stuck by her despite the revelation of her identity and the ensuing media attention.[16] A 2009 documentary film, Anne Perry Interiors, gave a snapshot of her life and the people close to her.[20] In 2017, Perry left Scotland and moved to the US in order to more effectively promote films based on her novels.
