Carolina "La Belle" Otéro

  • La Belle Otéro, a dancer, singer and a "demie-mondaine" of "La Belle Epoque". Unfortunately she lost her fortune at the Monte Carlo Casino, and during the fifties she lived in a very small flat in Nice, surrounded by her souvenirs. Her only distraction was to feed the pigeons on her balcony. Nice 1954. - Photo by Edward Quinn
