It list a couple of notable women a having been beheaded in the thee movies, when after crossreferencing, it turns out t was only referenced in passing, or even not performed a lited.

Not sure if some of thee should be edited.

In ecret and Sophie choll: The Lat Day come to mind.

 

listed, not lited.

 

QUOTE: "In the 1999 Hornblower episode, The Frogs and The Lobsters, a French Guillotine provided by a local Portuguese magician was used for the scene where Hornblower's love interest Mariette, played by Estelle Skornik, is executed on the guillotine. Although she was offered the use of a stand-in from the stunt team, Estelle declined the offer and so she was the one who was strapped into the guillotine and beheaded when the scene was shot. Estelle had a second encounter with a French Guillotine in Ce jour là, tout a changé: L'évasion de Louis XVI (2009), when she played Marie Antoinette and one was used for the scene where she is beheaded."

This is a complete falsehood. Mariette is NOT executed in the episode "The Frogs and the Lobsters" - I've seen it several times and Mariette dies trying to escape, not on the guillotine. In C. S. Forrester's original story she isn't guillotined either. It's amazing how this story keeps getting perpetuated, particularly since if she really was executed in the episode that scene would have been all over the Internet by now.

 

The list is indeed very inaccurate, I even tried to refer to it one time too.
For example, there was no execution scene at all in "In Secret 2013".
