Bryant and Nazimova

Alla Nazimova (Marem-Ides/Adelaida Yakovlevna Leventon, 1879?-1945) by Melbourne Spurr (1888-1964)


The Bryant/Nazimova ménage was more complicated than it appears. According to her Russian divorce decree from 1923, Nazimova was married to fellow-actor Sergei Golovin from 1899, so for almost the entire period she lived with Charles Bryant. Her interests lay predominantly with women, in any case: her most important relationship appears to have been with [Catherine] Glesca Marshall (1906-1987).
