Isadora Duncan (May 27, 1877 — September 14, 1927)

Isadora Duncan (May 27, 1877 — September 14, 1927) was a dancer, considered by many to be the creator of modern dance. Born in the United States, she lived in Western Europe and the Soviet Union from the age of 22 until her death at age 50. In the United States she was popular only in New York, and only later in her life. She performed to acclaim throughout Europe.

Duncan's fondness for flowing scarves was the cause of her death in an automobile accident in Nice, France when she was passenger in an Amilcar, and her silk scarf, draped around her neck, became entangled around the open-spoked wheels and rear axle, breaking her neck...

Good afternoon Captain Jane.

I'm pretty sure that there is an old movie about this character & I think the movie ends with her scarf,neck accident.

Isadora Duncan, a classic beauty. But...sacrificed to education about technology. Watch out for ties and scarves around rotating mechanical parts.

I remember watching the film years ago starring Vanessa Redgrave. She certainly shocked the establishment of the day but died a tragic death. Flirty and daring girl she was

Never made that search @Quill. I fell asleep then I woke up at 3am.

Mad

Who want a scrap. Wink

Going to look her up now. Vanessa Redgrave, now that rings a bell, may have seen this film after all. Cheers @Irn
