#16  #13: Lily was a respected actress in her day. She was also said to have been bi- and possibly tri-sexual.

Yes, but in the Getrude Lawrence and Tallulah Bankhead (not to mention, the divine Miss Garbo) mold.

Basically, they didn't play by the rules of Girls Gone Wild videos.

They just had fun, without calling it those tedious post-beatnik nicknames.

She was married to a minor league Tasmanian chorus boy named Errol Flynn, kind of a Britney-Justin Timberlake arrangement. They were battling their way through a divorce when he got the lead in Captain Blood and she became Lily Who?

Hey, she almost because the de facto if not de jure Empress of Germany.

For when Kaiser Bill's grandson did a tour of the United States (where he was offered a contract sight-unseen by Louis B. Mayer), young Prince Louis-Ferdinand fell head over high heels in love with Lily Damita.

His aghast parents ixnayed the romance, and he later married his suitably Romanov bride, but even he didn't escape the bisexual rumours, either.

In the parlance of the day, Damita's friends said he "smelled very powerfully of scent".

Sounds like whoopsie to me.

Cheers,
Victoria
