Fan Casting Femme Fatale

Role added by connieblackwood on July 27, 2022

Description of Femme Fatale:

First, she turns you on. Then, she turns on you. The typical client in a Hardboiled Detective story (French for "fatal woman", idiomatically "woman to die for"). You know the type. Dressed all in black with legs up to here and shady motives, she slinks into the P.I.'s office, sometimes holding a cigarette on a long, long holder, saying "Oh, Mr. Rockhammer, you're the only one who can help me find out who killed my extremely wealthy husband." Did she do it? Do I care? Wait, where'd that saxophone music come from? Whatever her story is, whether she did it or not, she's definitely keeping some secrets.
