Queen of Hearts
In the early 1960s, she was known as Frankie St. Clair—a showgirl with a sharp tongue, sharper eyeliner, and a heart only one man ever held. When he was murdered in a rigged poker game, something inside her snapped. She disappeared from Vegas and reemerged as a contract killer with a calling card: heart tattoos on her cheeks and piercing pink eyes. They called her the Queen of Hearts. She never missed, never stayed, and never spoke of love again. Gunned down in a 1976 shootout outside an Amarillo dive bar, she died smiling. Legend says her last words were, “He finally folded.”
