According to the memoirs of Fitroy Gardiner, old vaudevillian and friend of Spanish dancer and pantomimist Rosario Guerrero, she "started her stage career in a rough cabaret in Seville when she was selling oranges on the marketplace."
Soon though, because of her great beauty and skill, she became the toast of all Europe, rivaling even La Belle Otero in popularity.
She didn't believe in real estate investments, or keeping her money in banks, but felt it was most secure when worn on her person, in the form of precious stones and metals.
She was known to wear jewelry on her person that today would be valued at two and a half million dollars!.
She wasn't always liquid, though. Precious gems or not, Florenz Ziegfeld of New York once had sherif'f's deputies seize trunks full of her costumes and jewelry in lieu of drafts drawn on Paris banks which apparently mimicked rubber in their quality of bounciness!
