Sophie Tucker visits her ailing friend, 1952.
Her 83rd birthday, November 29, 1953.
Actress, singer, suffragette - Trixie Friganza may not be a household name today, but as the photos above amply illustrate, hers was a life that went unwasted and was lived fully. It's an example that we can all benefit from...
What a great, touching, informative tribute!
ReplyDeleteWouldn't you love to have had Sophie Tucker come caterwaul with you on your sickbed??? Better than morphine!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could figure out how to live my life to the fullest and unwasted HA. Thanks again for educating me about somebody new!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! I just sort of stumbled across her while searching for something else entirely, and was completely charmed by her photos.
ReplyDeleteWhere do you get these pictures of Trixie Friganza?? I am trying to find and collect more as she is my distant cousin from our same man, Romeo Friganza as her grandfather and my great-great-grandpa. Who is the person for me to contact about her??
