Story Plot

There have been reports that a film is being made about the Doris Payne's life but I think a series would suit the narrative much better. Doris Marie Payne was born October 10, 1930 in a segregated Slab Fork, West Virginia to a coal miner. She was also one of the world's most notorious jewel thieves. She was savvy and unrepentant in her pursuit of fine jewelry, using the guise of dressing as a wealthy lady to get away with her crimes. These acts ultimately led to her capture after stealing a diamond ring worth a half a million dollars in Monte Carlo.
