Deborah Tennis

Deborah Tennis is a fictional character appearing in the 2010 film All About Evil. She is played by Natasha Lyonne.
==Biography==
At a young age, Deborah performed for an audience at her father's movie theater, the Victoria Theatre, before a matinee showing of The Wizard of Oz. However, the performance goes awry when she pees herself and it leaks onto the microphone, electrocuting her. She survived, and years later, she began working at the local library. After her father's passing, she inherited the Victoria, working as a concessionaire. One night, while her mother was talking to her about the theater being razed for a Bed, Bath and Beyond, she snapped and killed her. The audience, impatiently waiting for the movie to start, were treated to the surveillance footage, which Deborah played while scrambling to start the movie (the usual projectionist, Mr. Twigs, was away).
The rapturous response to the short launched Deborah's new career, as a creator of gruesome short films. Her works featured actual killings depicted on-camera, crossbred with literary allusions and "please silence your cell phone" messages at the end. While A Tale of Two Severed Titties was just made by Deborah and Mr. Twigs, she would eventually hire Veda and Vera, twin sisters imprisoned for murdering their family, and Adrian, a street mugger. Every Friday night, before that week's movie would play at the Victoria, one of Deborah's shorts would be screened, gaining her popularity amongst gorehounds and notoriety amongst San Francisco in general.
For her first full-length feature, Gore and Peace, Deborah planned on hosting a big premiere at the Victoria. In true Deborah Tennis fashion, the premiere included complementary drinks meant to be had at a toast, laced with poison. Unfortunately for her, Steven (one of Deborah's earliest supporters) had grown wise to her tricks, and soon after, chaos erupted across the Victoria. As part of the "movie," Deborah kidnapped Steven's girlfriend and threatened to kill her. In a fateful confrontation upon the theater's roof, Deborah is stabbed and eventually falls to her death, landing on top of a police car.
