Joanne Froggatt


Maureen

In a true life and hard hitting story, this is the tale of Myra Hyndley's sister Maureen.

Ian Brady and Myra Hindley were brought to justice as seen from Maureen's perspective.Five years beyond the trial, leading to a scene where Maureen visits Myra in prison. By this stage, Myra is claiming to be a reformed person; she expresses guilt for the pain she has brought the families of her victims, blaming herself and Brady, and she tells Maureen she's been going to confession, and she is clutching a rosary in her hand. Myra also tells Maureen about how their father used to beat her, and Maureen says he used to do it to her as well. Myra gives Maureen some of Ian Brady's photographs, including one almost identical to the one taken on the grave of John Kilbride, and tells Maureen she never wants to see them again.

The last scene shows that although what Maureen went through she latter died. The last scene showed: Maureen walking down a street, followed by an epilogue: Maureen died of a Brain Haemorrage in 1980 at age 34; David Smith remarried and had another child.Tragic: Joanne Froggatt, right, with Maxine Peake as Myra Hindley  The News of the World from 1966, featuring a lead story about the Moors case with a photo of Maureen and David Smith.
