Talk:La Belle Otero

A remembrance of "Madame Otero" appears in Colette's "My Apprenticeships", starting at pages 9-15 in the Farrar, Straus and Giroux American edition of 1978.--rchrd (talk) 02:59, 24 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Not only that, but Colette's biographers Claude Francis and Fernande Gontier say that Otero had an affair with Colette, although Judith Thurman disputes this. It was certainly rumoured at the time. 92.40.12.123 (talk) 12:24, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

Is the mention of her in Blixen's Out of Africa notable? --Klausok (talk) 05:56, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

Yes. I think it's notable. One of Karen Blixen's acquaintances had squandered his fortune on Otero, years before, when he'd been a young man. Blixen asked him, "And do you consider that you got your money's worth?" After thinking it over, he replied that he did. He had no regrets. Younggoldchip (talk) 15:37, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
