Given that her mother was one of Alla's closest friends, having met at a party hosted by society lesbians <a href="https://doloresdelargotowers.blogspot.com/2012/12/i-am-going-to-make-everything-around-me.html" rel="nofollow">Bessie Marbury and Elsie de Wolfe</a>, and when she was a teenager, Nancy was photographed visiting Alla and her longtime partner Glesca Marshall, that she was later so complicit in the homophobic atmosphere her husband created during the AIDS era in the USA when he was president.

By 1905, Alla found herself in New York heralded on Broadway for her definitive interpretations of Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler and A Doll’s House. It was during this period that Alla met Charles Bryant, the man who would become Nazimova’s “husband.” Never legally married–Nazimova was still legally Mrs. Segei Golovin–the two claimed to be married and would continue the pretense for the next 20 years despite the fact that Nazimova was a lesbian."<br /><br />Scandalous for the time...
