Glesca Marshall

Catherine Glesca Marshall (September 19, 1906 – August 21, 1987) was an American actress and theatrical benefactor who was known primarily as the most enduring lover of Alla Nazimova, silent screen actress and a legend of her time. Glesca met Nazimova when both were cast in a production at the Civic Repertory Theater.

Glesca later lived with Nazimova at the Garden of Allah Hotel on Sunset Boulevard near the Sunset Strip in Hollywood. In the silent film era, the hotel had been an estate that was Nazimova's home. Glesca lived there in a villa on the grounds until Nazimova's death in 1945.

Glesca was also the longtime companion of Emily Woodruff, theatrical benefactor and main patron of the Springer Opera House in Columbus, Georgia. Emily was married to Hume Cronyn, though they never lived together and Emily insisted the marriage remain a secret. Marshall and Woodruff are buried together at Parkhill Cemetery, Columbus, Georgia.

Alla Nazimova

Alla Nazimova

Alla Nazimova (født Мириам Левентон - Miriam Leventon, 22. maijul./ 3. juni 1879greg. i Jalta på Krim, død 13. juli 1945 i Los Angeles i California) var en russisk-amerikansk teater- og filmskuespiller, manusforfatter og produsent. Hun debuterte som skuespiller i 1915 i filmen War Brides.

Nazimovas private livsstil ga opphav til omfattende rykter om et angivelig utsvevende liv, og det har blitt sagt at hun var bifil.

Nazimova overlevde en brystkreftoperasjon, men døde av et hjerteinfarkt i en alder av 66 år i 1945. For hennes bidrag til filmindustrien ble hun etter sin død anerkjent med en stjerne på Hollywood Walk of Fame.
