Having a fatal accident is not only synonymous with high speeds, but also with the consequences of recklessness on the road. I just want to tell you, as a reflection, that no matter how basic and avoidable the accidents that we will see later seem to you, they still happen today. Shortly after, she was eating in the Negresco restaurant with a friend who has just offered her a scarf. It is public knowledge that the car James Dean drove was a Porsche, but to know which was the car in which Juanito, the legendary footballer of Madrid, or the singer of the eighties Tino Casal, at the time of his death, may be new to you. However, I simply propose that you remember the models. We will not go into the reasons for the accident, because I believe that at this point everything or almost everything has been said. Moreover, most of the time the same factor coincide: recklessness, speeding and alcohol, until a tragic end is reached.Ĭars, as involuntary witnesses of legendary celebrity deaths, have sometimes gone down in history, logically, without their manufacturers claiming it. However, let us not forget that, unfortunately, accidents still exist today, and so do deaths. if the cars that carried their protagonists had been equipped with the technological advances in security that we have today. Redgrave, who trained six months for Isadora, won the award for Best Actress at the 1969 Cannes Film Festival.I often wonder if the history of cinema, sport, royalty would have changed. In 1968 a motion picture portraying the life of the legendary dancer featured Vanessa Redgrave in the title role. This misfortune took place in Nice on September 14, 1927. The heavy embroidered silk pulled instantly taut and snapped the dancers neck. According to oral tradition, her last words were: ∿arewell, my friends, I am off to glory! As the car drove off, she threw a long silk scarf around her neck, which entangled in one of the cars open-spoked wheels. It is possible that her interest in the young man went beyond a mere spin in the automobile despite her being 50 years of age and thus considerably older than her escort. Then the dancer met a young auto mechanic who sold Bugatti cars and she asked him if he would join her for a test drive in what was either the Bugatti Type 35 or 37. At this time, most of her bills were being settled by wealthy benefactors, including her former lover Paris Singer, heir to the sewing-machine empire. Yet this latter version is certainly false, since Isadora Duncans ardour was reserved for a single brand of automobile: Bugatti.Īs legend has it, she desired to buy one but could not afford it. Some Bugattistas even go so far as to question whether the fateful car in which the dancer met her demise was in fact a Bugatti maybe it was an Amilcar. Her notorious death is not exactly a pet topic for Bugatti historians. Soon after Isadora was born, the head of the family went bankrupt and the family lived in extreme poverty for some time. Born Dora Angela was the youngest of four children in the family. Openly rebelling against bourgeois conventions, non-conformist Duncan supported womens emancipation and other feminist causes. Isadora Duncan was born in San Francisco in 1877 to Joseph Duncan, a banker. It was mainly in Europe that she developed her idiosyncratic style of dance, the ex-pat shocking her audience with barefoot interpretations of great ballet classics and with costumes that exposed her arms and legs. The death of the beautiful dancer Isadora Duncan is one of the many legends surrounding the Bugatti name.Īmerican-born Duncan was not only among the most prominent dancers of her time, but is to this day regarded as the progenitor of modern dance.
