Dancer Isadora Duncan is killed in car accident


On the day she died in 1927, Isadora Duncan was a passenger in a brand-new convertible sportscar that she was learning to drive.

As she leaned back in her seat to enjoy the sea breeze, her enormous red scarf (“which she had worn since she took up communism,” one newspaper reported) somehow blew into the well of the rear wheel on the passenger side.

It wound around the axle, tightening around Duncan’s neck and dragging her from the car and onto the cobblestone street.

She died instantly.
