The murderess is going to “kill” me as there must be a more famous American murderess, but I don’t know any. Actress and singer were tricky too as there are so many possibilities, it’s difficult to decide who will be most popular.

Female writer was the toughest category - so many good options! Went with Rowling because she’s so beloved on the Dope. A gamble!

For the murderess, I have no idea if I listed a real person or, if so, if that person murdered someone. The name just popped into my had. Also, I suspect my spellings are quite bad.
