Tossup

Kenneth Tynan’s final New Yorker article was a so-called “tell-all” profile of this actress that discusses her move to Rochester to work as a historian (15[1])for Eastman Kodak’s film archive. This actress’s later life paralleled the fate of Thymian, a role she played in an adaptation (15[1])of a diary-like Margarete Böhme (“BOO-muh”) novel. A character played by this actress takes a fancy to a real-life serial killer on Christmas Eve. The title character of Laura Moriarty’s novel (15[1])The Chaperone supervises this actress en route from Kansas to New York City to study dance at the Denishawn school. This actress inspired the 3D projection Faustine from The (*) Invention of Morel by Adolfo Bioy Casares. (10[1])Vincente (10[1])Minnelli advised his daughter Liza to model her look as Sally Bowles in Cabaret (-5[1])on (10[1])this actress’s role in a silent G. (10[1])W. Pabst (10[1])film based on a mix of Frank Wedekind plays. For 10 points, name this flapper icon who wore her trademark bob cut (-5[1])in Pandora’s Box as Lulu. ■END■ (0[1])
