HH: Before she became the consummate female clown, she was the poster woman for up and coming technicolor with that red hair, blue eyes and alabaster skin.

Unknown, Annette Kellerman
Annette motherfucking Kellerman: overcame childhood physical disabilities to become a professional swimmer, vaudeville and silent film star; first woman to wear a one-piece swimsuit (& consequently first to get arrested for it); first major actress to appear fully nude on camera; her water ballets are considered by many to have singlehandedly invented synchronized swimming; she dove into pools full of crocodiles and wrote aquatic fairy tales; a Harvard professor declared her “the perfect woman” for her measurements matched those of Venus de Milo.

Evelyn Nesbit was supposedly Lucy Maude Montgomery’s inspiration when developing Anne (…of Green Gables) Shirley’s appearance. Such a beauty, but I’m not so sure her life was all that enviable.
