I hesitate to even type her name because I don't want to get any M.H.-related traffic. You can read a primer of her horribleness as well as hair crimes at her wiki page:
She took the confirmation name of Veronica, and received her first communion in November 1958 ... it was also at about this time that [she] first began bleaching her hair.
Shortly after her 17th birthday she changed her hair colour, with a pink rinse. She took judo lessons once a week at a local school, but found partners reluctant to train with her, as she was often slow to release her grip.
[She] began to emulate an ideal of Aryan perfection, dying her hair blonde and applying thick crimson lipstick ... [she] began to change her appearance further, wearing clothing considered risqué such as high boots, short skirts, and leather jackets ...

i recall having seen the movie "longford" on HBO. lovely people, just lovely.
I think I remember seeing her on Forensic Files or some other TruTV show. Evil, twisted, child killing bitch. Related in spirit, if not biologically, to Casey Anthony.
In other places, the word "slattern" is synonymous with that pic.
I just read the wiki on her and the crimes and I am totally appalled by the whole thing. Its one of the examples of the depths that a living being that is "human" in name only can stoop to.
I reminded me of Karla Homolka and Paul Teale, the biggest difference being that next to Karla Holmoka this murderess was a piker. Sad to say that even worse examples exist. Chilling.
I always thought it a shame that the Manson killings took place in the late '60s, and therefore all the Manson Chicks were hippies.
Imagine how much more fabulous if it has happened ca. 1962, and they'd looked like Dawn Davenport and her cohorts, with ratted hair, eyeliner and spike heels!
Eep - she looks just like my auntie. Not that Auntie Joan is wicked (though she may be, for all that), but she has the tallest, whitest hairstyle on record. Bigger each year. Like the expanding cosmos. She treats it with hairspray and Stephen Hawking's tears.

Rolli, oh please, get us a photo of your Auntie. Is that being too gauche?
Eve, I always think that these crimes are a shame, no matter when they happen. People died grizzly deaths, inncocent lives were lost and the ones left behind had to pick up the pieces of broken hearts, regardless of what the murderers wore. Whether is John Wayne Gacy in a clown suit or Manson chicks, none of them could ever look fabulous if there is blood on their hands and a life of promise is snuffed out.
I'm on it, Donna. Stay tuned ...

Yes! And I have a Dawn Davenport aunt, so we'll do a "you post yours and I'll post mine" one!
She has a disconcerting resemblance to the late Diana, Princess of Wales. Almost the Walmart version....
Now, Timothy Treadwell--HE died a "grizzly" death.
A friend of mine once during the Spice Girls era planned (but never made) a T-shirt with that photo of Myra Hindley with the tag "Girl Power" underneath.
No luck finding a good pic, Donna, alas - but I do have a reasonably recent sketch, which I've posted on my blog -
