1211) Barbara Daly Baekeland

Barbara Daly Baekeland (1922 – 1972). American socialite who was murdered by her son, Antony "Tony" Baekeland. She was the ex-wife of Brooks Baekeland, who was the grandson of Leo Baekeland, inventor of Bakelite plastic.
She was murdered at her London home when her son Antony stabbed her with a kitchen knife, killing her almost instantly. Antony was found at the scene of the crime, and later confessed to and was charged with her murder.
The 2007 film Savage Grace is based on the life of Barbara and Antony Baekeland. Barbara was played by Julianne Moore. According to Barbara Baekeland's former lover Samuel Adams Green, the film features misleading elements.
