Thérèse Humbert, a woman of humble origins with limited education and meager means, executed an elaborate swindle that endured for nearly two decades. She accomplished this by deceiving prominent figures in French society who willingly entrusted their fortunes to her in hopes of substantial returns. They, in turn, enriched her considerably, and until her scheme unraveled, she lived a life of opulence and admiration. However, when the falsehoods underpinning her schemes were exposed, she garnered significant public attention, albeit not for admiration. Unrepentant even in the face of her downfall, Thérèse delighted the public during her trial. Plump, jolly, and as good-humored as ever, she entertained her lawyer with witty asides in the courtroom. Her story continues to be recounted in modern times through books, articles, and the 1983 French movie "Thérèse Humbert," in which Simone Signoret portrays her. - Extent
