I'm surprised that you all didn't know about Duncan's sad end. I thought she had been decapitated, though.
I had to tell somebody in my programming class about lemmings. What are they teaching kids these days, anyway? I immediately followed it up with the additional info that they only rarely actually leap to their deaths, like when they're panicked by movie documentarians, if not actually bodily tossed off cliffs by them.

That's a very "NO CAPES!!" kind of story. Awesome.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Duncan was a passenger in the Amilcar automobile of a handsome young Italian mechanic, Benoît Falchetto, whom she had ironically nicknamed 'Buggatti'
What does "Buggatti" mean? What endearment do you pick for a lover who already shares his name with a sex toy?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Gay friends in college ensured she was an oft-used reference. It's only now that I realise I have no idea who she is, although I knew so much about her death.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I wrote a paper on Isadora Duncan in High School. And I think of her whenever someone quotes "writing about music is like dancing about architecture", since there was a great passage in the bio written by one of her adopted daughters describing her dancing in the Parthenon (maybe, somewhere with a lot of columns and historic significance) with no music, just inspired by the building.
Her husband was a Russian poet who thought people should read novels straight through without interruption (not taking time out to sleep or eat or work) to fully appreciate them. He would probably not be pleased that that is all I remember about him.
