Milady is a 2004 French swashbuckler Made-for-TV Movie directed by Josée Dayan (The Count of Monte Cristo) and written by Catherine Clément and Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt. It is inspired by the character of Milady de Winter from The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas.In early 17th century France, as the child of a Protestant couple, the young Charlotte Backson saw her parents being slaughtered by Catholic fanatics sent by her grandmother Jeanne De Breuil, who then put her into a convent. At age 18, Charlotte escaped from the convent by seducing the young Count of La Fère, who ambitioned to become a priest. The two of them separated, and Charlotte, under the new name of Milady de Winter she gained by marrying an English nobleman then becoming a widow in mysterious circumstances, started climbing the social ladder of the kingdom of France using her seduction talents, so much so that she ended up being recruited by the Cardinal Richelieu, who entrusted her with a mission. Milady soon finds out that a certain trio (then quatuor) of Musketeers of the King stands in her way...The cast includes Arielle Dombasle as Milady, Asia Argento as Sally La Chèvre, Martin Lamotte as Richelieu, Julie Depardieu as Constance Bonacieux, Florent Pagny as D'Artagnan, Christopher Buchholz as the Duke of Buckingham, Guillaume Depardieu as Athos, Éric Ruf (who would later play Richelieu) as Aramis and Frédéric Longbois as Porthos.

Black Widow: Milady married Lord de Winter to gain his title and access to his wealth, then he suddenly died, despite he was said to be a healthy man. Multiple clues (including her very fake mourning) indicate that she poisoned him.
