No, not Barbara Payton. Of her four siblings, three were sisters.

Did she live to be 60 or more?

No, she died at an age younger than 60. Mitochondrial DNA surely has its merits.

No, not before 1970. A fictional witness stated that the screamed in vain.

"The" screamed in vain? Do you mean "she" or maybe "they"?
OK, European?

I mean "she". Apologies for the typing error; I will watch my keystrokes more carefully before posting. Yes, European. No pillow allowed unless when ill.

I’ve found a match: Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia
I guess the next three hints would have started with O, V and A to spell ROMANOVA. The only hint I didn’t find was the fictional witness (I didn’t read the whole article, though). I found nothing about screaming in the movies.

 Well done again (including the other hints). It was indeed Stacy Romanova. The "fictional witness" was in fact an offender. This hint refers to a line in the lyrics of Sympathy for the Devil, the notorious Stones' song: I killed the Czar and his ministers Anastasia screamed in vain Some ten people have claimed to be Anastasia; DNA tests performed in recent years have proved all these claims to be false. But in 1968, when this song was written, many people believed that she had survived the killing.

Nothing wrong with the Stones hint. If I had known the lyrics by heart, it would even have been a giveaway.
Next one up:
Male, deceased.
