{{quote|"You're not anybody in America unless you're on TV. On TV is where we learn about who we really are. Because what's the point of doing anything worthwhile if nobody's watching? And if people are watching, it makes you a better person."|'''Suzanne Stone Maretto'''}}
''[[To Die For]]'' was a [[Black Comedy]] directed by Gus Van Sant in 1995. The film is an incredibly dark satire on celebrity obsession. [[Nicole Kidman]] plays Suzanne Stone Maretto -- a beautiful and ruthlessly ambitious (if talentless and not overly bright) young woman desperate to become a world famous news anchor, even if she has to commit murder along the way.
Though not a box office success the film was praised by critics and has become a minor [[Cult Classic]]. It earned $21,284,514 in the United States market, the 77th most successful film of its year. Kidman earned her first Golden Globe for her role and many fans still rank it with some of her best work (and certainly her best comedy.)

* [[It's All About Me]]: Psychologists agree that Suzanne is elligible for a diagnosis of Narcissistic personality disorder.
* [[Ambition Is Evil]]
Line 32 ⟶ 31:
* [[Stepford Smiler]]
* [[Sympathetic Murderer]] (Suzanne is convinced she's one. The reality is otherwise.)
* [[The Unfair Sex]]: Averted hard with the heartless character of Suzanne
* [[The Vamp]] (Played with; Suzanne has the ruthlessness and the looks but lacks the brains to pull it off properly - her 'seduction' and 'manipulation' are hilariously ham-fisted and obvious. Luckily her targets are even dumber than she is.)
