calumet412: Bee Palmer, “The Shimmy Queen”, c.1928, Chicago. Bee was a famous Ziegfeld jazz singer and dancer. From Chicago, she made her fame and fortune in NY, but always came back to her hometown. She had a minor scandal in the 20’s when she had an affair with boxer Jack Dempsey. This photo evokes “The Artist”, doesn’t it? What a nickname. I’m so jealous.
