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 for Eastman Kodak’s film archive. This actress’s later life paralleled the fate of Thymian, a role she played in an adaptation 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 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. 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. W. Pabst film based on a mix of Frank Wedekind plays. For 10 points, name this flapper icon who wore her trademark bob cut in Pandora’s Box as Lulu. ■END■ (0[1])
