Today is the 142nd birthday of the silent film star Alla Nazminova. Her life story has the sort of arc that could only be believed as a work of fiction. She was one of the most respected stage actresses and became the highest paid actress in Hollywood. She produced her own films when no one was, she built a gigantic mansion, threw lavish parties and lived a very free lifestyle. All that and she found time to be Nancy Reagan’s godmother. The world is a better place because she was in it and still feels the loss that she has left.
