Happy New Year to you!!!!
<3 Wow, Gabrielle, your photo is stunning 🤩 Tell me about your creation, please!
That’s not me! That’s Anita Berber, legendary Weimar libertine. Don’t I wish I were that extraordinary!
The photo is small so it looked like you! But how is it that I didn’t know about her?
That might be one of the nicest compliments I’ve received! Admittedly, thanks to the fact that she was mostly a stage performer and she died quite young, she’s not as well known as other figures from that era, to be fair. In fact, when I attended the Weimar Panel at DragonCon, I was surprised to find that the moderators didn’t know about her either. (They also thought Hedy Lamarr was a German silent star, however, so their Weimar bona fides are suspect.)
I meant it! But thank you for filling me in. Funny, that the moderators didn’t know Hedy Lamarr’s story since she is so well known 🙂
Don’t get me started on that Weimar panel. The list of important historical figures from their supposed area of expertise of whom they were either completely or mostly unaware was staggering.
Very distressing. I guess they are enthusiasts rather than scholars?
I wouldn’t even give them THAT much credit. I hardly consider myself a scholar, but at least I know Hedy Lamarr never made a silent film!
