3 | A Creator/{{Netflix}} Original, ''The Most Assassinated Woman in the World'' (French title: ''La femme la plus assassinée du monde'') is a 2018 mystery film loosely based on the life of Paula Maxa, [[UsefulNotes/ScreamQueens Scream Queen]] of the Grand Guignol in the 1930s, "the most assassinated woman in the world", being "killed" over 10,000 times on-stage in gory fashion. Romantically and professionally pursued by "Jean" of ''Le Petite Journal'', a reporter for a local newspaper, Paula is also dealing with an obsessive stalker who leaves her messages stating that they plan to kill her for real, and tragic memories of her murdered sister. |

6 | !!This film exhibits the following tropes: |
7 | * FakingTheDead: [[spoiler:Paula fakes her death on-stage, while also convincing her stalker that they have killed her]]. |
8 | * RedRightHand: Both the Jean in Paula's past, and Eugene de Lancy, of the present, have a leg brace which emits a characteristic click when they walk, implying they are the same person. |
9 | * UsefulNotes/ScreamQueens: Paula Maxa was an early example of this trope, dying repeatedly on the stage of the ''Grand Guignol'' before moving on to movies. |
10 | * StalkerWithACrush: One of these is prominent in Paula's story, leaving her gifts indicating that he enjoys seeing her die on stage, and that he can't wait to make it really happen. |
11 | * VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory: Paula Maxa continued to act, including in film, and died at the age of 72 without having to fake her death in an on-stage accident. |
