With her cunning tactics, she fought through the Greek ships fearlessly while the other Persian admirals dissolved into hysteria. Melanie has represented more female TV actresses than any other agent in her genre. She is passionate about championing women, and challenging the double standards set for women by the media and the entertainment industry in the UK. She fought in the Battle of Salamis for her Persian overlord Xerxes as one of his closest naval advisors. Out, damned spot! Out, I say! One, two. Why then 'tis time to do't. Hell is murky. Fie, my lord, fie, a soldier, and afeard? What need we fear? Who knows it, when none can call our power to account? Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him?(Act 5 Scene 1) If there’s one book you’re going to read in 2021, make it Ruthless Women. Utterly addictive from its opening chapters, the technically fictional novel (which draws on author Melanie Blake’s real-life experience as an agent to the stars) is unpredictable, unputdownable and unique to anything I have ever read.On a beautiful island off the English coast, four TV actresses gather. Their fifth member is missing – and only they know why she was killed. Not all of the drama will give you a laugh, however. There are some genuinely emotional and heart-wrenching moments woven within the story, that Blake manages to tell without sensationalisation. Instead, she uses poise and a lot of thought to ensure that she stays within the boundaries of the murkier topics involved, whilst still lending importance to the serious nature of each.

Granted a second chance after facing life in prison, Nikita trains to become a masterful assassin. Eliminating targets for the French government with aplomb, Nikita is not only a well-developed character but one of the greatest movie assassins of all time. A glamorous, revenge-filled thriller that will have you hooked. So addictive we couldn’t put it down – it’s a real roller coaster of a ride” Sunday Mirror Isn’t that fabulous?! The reason for that is because 50 Shades is told from a man’s perspective, despite being written by a woman. In my book, no female is taken advantage of sexually by a man. If some bloke tried to tie up one of my female characters, they’d be more likely to tie him up – then laugh and go and sh*g his mate! All the ladies are in control of their own sex lives – and that is very much my experience. All the sex scenes in that book are real. I watched with my very own eyes as one household name, who’s still on screen now, went at it with her chauffeur in the limo before a TV awards ceremony! According to ancient Greek legends, Circe, a sorceress, was the most well-known femme fatale of that time. She would seduce men, luring them onto her island. I’ve lived and breathed it all,” she tells us. “Tragedy, bankruptcy, attempted suicides, criminal dealings… as an agent you see all that drama all the time!”Upon the king’s return, the two lovers ambushed him and slit his throat. Choking on his own blood, the king called Clytemnestra a name that can only be translated as “bitch-face.” Also known as "Ice Eyes", Rosetta Cutolo was the older sister Raffaele Cutolo, the head of Nuova Camorra Organizzata, a notorious Italian criminal organization. Since Raffaele spent the majority of his adult life behind bars, he had to leave day to day operations to Rosetta. She and her brother often argued over his love of attention, because she preferred to keep a low profile. I couldn’t possibly say, or I’d get sued! [Laughs] No character is based on an actual person, but they are amalgamation of everything and everyone I’ve seen in 20 years of this industry. They say write about what you know… and I’ve known a lot of b*tches and bad men. Oh absolutely! And I put that scene in the book! Some actresses are so highly sexed in real life because many have access to specialist doctors who put them on particular blends of HRT that contain testosterone, which leaves them with the libido of a 25-year-old. And that’s why the characters in the book are so sexually adventurous. And in my experience, that’s what many soap actresses can be like.

The Deadliest Femme Fatales in Ancient Greek Mythology

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Medea was the wife of Jason who, like many ancient Greek husbands, was sleeping around.

According to the Spiegel Online, "Colonel Fanette Umuraza is a senior member of both the military and political wing of Congolese Tutsi rebel group, M23". Growing up in a Rwandan refugee camp, Umuraza earned a degree before joining M23. While she sees herself as a military leader, according to the Human Rights Watch, some of the crimes the group commits include murder, and the forced recruitment of children. And she's in charge. It was a well documented, real-life bust-up at the time – and believe me when I say it was worse than anything you’d see on the telly. When I was working as an extra on Corrie I used to go drinking with the late Lynne Perrie, who played Ivy Tilsley. Now she was wild. I’ve never experienced anything quite like the nights out I had with her!
