520 1 $a"Tales of Lydia's touring company, of "British Blondes," and such lurid episodes as her horsewhipping of a Chicago editor and her newspaper-invented romance with a Russian Grand Duke left her with an historical reputation as a bawdy burlesquer, but Kurt Ganzl shows she was nothing of the kind. Sweet, gentle and loving, she was an electrifying actress, a peerless dancer and charming singer with an unbeatable comedic sense and, above all, more star quality than the entire Milky Way put together.
