- Became famous in Europe in the late 19th century for the Serpentine Dance.
- Although known in her prime for her womanly figure, by the time of her death, she had become quite obese. Her obituary in the Lawrence (KS) Journal-World of January 2, 1928, stated that she was sick for ten days before her death in a room at the Plaza Athenee in Paris from pneumonia and that when physicians began treating her, she was already suffering from auto-intoxication. This is a condition where something in the body builds up toxins and is usually associated with severe constipation or problems with the intestinal tract.
