I never heard of this person before.
They're making a movie about Lee Israel, based on her memoir, Can You Ever Forgive Me? She was a writer who had published several successful celebrity biographies. But she went into decline after an unsuccessful book. She was an alcoholic and being abrasive and unpleasant to begin with didn't help things. Getting a regular job didn't work out, so she began forging and selling letters by dead writers and actors.
She was convicted of some of her crimes, got six months house arrest and five years probation. She later published a memoir gloating about it. Some questioned whether she should be allowed to profit from her crimes in this way. She died a few years ago so the movie's not doing anything for her.
If you're going to resort to crime, it seems like this would be the way ago. Never commit a crime where your victim could legally shoot you.
