- Widely considered America's first female serial killer. While not the first, she was one of only a few female serial killers who used a gun as their weapon.
- Shared birthday with fellow serial killer Richard Ramirez.
- Wuornos became pregnant at 14-years-old after being raped by a friend of her grandfather's and was sent to a home for unwed mothers. She gave birth to a baby boy on March 23, 1971. The child was put up for adoption.
- Despite prostituting herself to men, she had a female lover, Tyria Moore, who testified against her at her first murder trial.
- Wuornos never met her father, as he was incarcerated at the time of her birth. He was diagnosed with schizophrenia, later convicted of sex crimes against children, and eventually hanged himself in prison on January 30, 1969, when she was just thirteen years old.
- [last words before being executed] I'd just like to say I'm sailing with the rock and I'll be back like Independence Day with Jesus, June 6, like the movie, big mother ship and all. I'll be back.
- You have to kill Aileen Wuornos, because she'll kill again
