Miss Nadia Stroghoff, cuter than cute Russian dancer on an autographed promotional RPPC produced in Brussels, Belgium. There were actually a few cards Miss Stroghoff (or her agent) had made of herself in different poses that we found in a small collection, but none of the others so beautifully captured for us the iconic image of the "Jazz Baby." Wonderful :)
Because this card was produced in a small studio in Brussels and not by one of the giant printer/publishers of the time, it's very possible that we will never again see this wonderful image. We found no history on her, but hope she found happiness in her art and life.
The "Roaring 20s" is a favorite era in any era (except possibly for some who lived it...it was a pretty rough time, too). So many successful novels, dramas and musicals have been set in that time. Below, you can follow a link to Youtube and a clip from the 1982 film "Victor Victoria" in which the incomparable Leslie Anne Warren gives us her version of a 1920's Chicago speakeasy performer's routine. Priceless, hilarious, and lots of fun :) This was also the role for which Miss Warren received an Academy nomination.
