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. Nice 1954.
La Belle Otéro, a celebrated dancer and "demie-mondaine" of the Belle Epoque, is photographed in her small flat in Nice, 1954. Having lost her fortune, she is captured here in an animated moment, mid-sentence and gesturing emphatically with a raised finger. Her graying hair is styled in an updo, complementing a patterned robe and a large, shiny ascot. The room, with its dense wallpaper, pinned photographs, and surfaces draped in varied cloths, offers a glimpse into the later years of the former star.
