Who is this girl seated among leopard furs? She was once quite famous, and had a very episodic connection with automobiles. Which one?

For one rare PAFW point, answer both questions and tell us the full story.

Let's narrow the things down a bit: She was an American movie actress of the late 1920s.

Neither.

No actress at all?

Ray B. · « **Reply #6 on:** April 08, 2011, 04:29:24 PM »

Right, un less I am wrong: she doesn't appear at an actress in film encyclopedias.

Not a dancer

A singer?

Ray B. · « **Reply #10 on:** April 09, 2011, 05:01:18 AM »

She didn't dance, didn't sing (except maybe under the shower).

Two domains in which she never attained any achievement.

known for driving?

Ray B. · « **Reply #22 on:** April 10, 2011, 06:12:04 AM »

Not as I know of. As I said above, her connection with cars appears to be quite episodic (of a kind you recently used yourself).
