While a student at Barnard College, she became the roommate of Edie Parker (later married to Jack Kerouac). Their apartment became a gathering place for the Beats during the 1940s, where Vollmer was often at the center of marathon, all night discussions. In 1946, she began a relationship with William S. Burroughs, later becoming his common-law wife. In 1951, Burroughs killed Vollmer by shooting her in the head in what was apparently a drunken attempt at playing William Tell. Early life and education[edit] Paul Adams divorced Vollmer upon returning from military service. Lillie Langtry. Lillie Langtry (October 13, 1853 – February 12, 1929), usually spelled Lily Langtry in the United States, born Emilie Charlotte Le Breton, was initially celebrated as a young woman for her beauty and charm, and later established a reputation as an actress and producer.
In May 1877, Lady Sebright invited her to "an evening at home", attended by some of the famous artists of the day. Her looks—allied to her ability to enchant those in her company—attracted interest, comments, and invitations from artists and society hostesses. By 1881, she had become an actress and starred in many plays, including She Stoops to Conquer, The Lady of Lyons, and As You Like It, eventually running her own stage production company.[1] In later life she performed "dramatic sketches" in vaudeville. She was also known for her relationships with noblemen, including the Prince of Wales, the Earl of Shrewsbury, and Prince Louis of Battenberg.
She was the subject of widespread public and media interest. Daughter[edit] Cabaret Berlin. Sally Bowles is a fictional character from the novels of Christopher Isherwood “Mr Norris Changes Trains” and “Goodbye To Berlin” (also known as The Berlin Diaries) published in 1935 and 1939.

I looked forward to climbing out of the steaming hot bathtub, slipping into my flannel pajamas- the ones we called the "pink panther pjs" because in being washed with a red sock, my white pj's had turned pink and I loved the pink panther cartoon so would imagine myself just like the rascally panther. I would scramble up on his lap and my Dad would sit in his big lazyboy chair and read to me.
Favorite stories included one called "The Duchess Bakes a Cake" and the Curious George series. I never fell asleep while he was reading because the story would hold me wide awake, wanting to know what next? My all time favorite bedtime stories were fairy tales. Learning an angry language (red riding hood/rapunzel) Snow, Glass, Apples: The Story of Snow White by Terri Windling: Summer 2007, Journal of Mythic Arts, Endicott Studio. Illustration by Arthur Rackham To most people today, the name Snow White evokes visions of dwarfs whistling as they work, and a wide–eyed, fluttery princess singing, "Some day my prince will come.
" (A friend of mine claims this song is responsible for the problems of a whole generation of American women.) Yet the Snow White theme is one of the darkest and strangest to be found in the fairy tale canon — a chilling tale of murderous rivalry, adolescent sexual ripening, poisoned gifts, blood on snow, witchcraft, and ritual cannibalism. . .in short, not a tale originally intended for children's tender ears. Disney's well–known film version of the story, released in 1937, was ostensibly based on the German tale popularized by the Brothers Grimm. Variants of Snow White were popular around the world long before the Grimms claimed it for Germany, but their version of the story (along with Walt Disney's) is the one that most people know today.

It's Thursday evening and the tiny figure of Christiane Kubrick takes to the stage at Somerset House on the Strand in London, to introduce an open-air screening of her late husband's film Paths of Glory.
She reads from a prepared script: "Important events in life feel like they happened yesterday. But it was 53 years ago that Stanley saw me on German television and hired me . . . " Stanley Kubrick gave Christiane the part of a bar singer. They married and barely left one another's side for the next 42 years. Natascha Kampusch: Inside the head of my torturer. It is a freezing late-August afternoon in a not particularly Mozartian part of Vienna.
Natascha Kampusch stands before me in her agent's office, shaking my hand. To her left is her agent, Wolfgang Brunner, to her right her translator, Jill Kreuer. Her mouth is very firmly shut, her lips squeezed hard together. I notice a small, discoloured patch of skin on her hand, a wound from a beating that will never completely heal. "Thank you for meeting me," I say. Asgarda. Fight club.
