 Camille: Introductory Remarks by Brian Taves
Unlike Nazimova, despite her name Rambova was not an expatriate, but the daughter of a wealthy Utah family (born Winifred Shaughnessy) who had adopted the name Natacha Rambova before she met Nazimova.
Part of his attraction to Rambova was his recognition of Rambova as a woman of rare intelligence and ability as well as beauty, with whom he fell deeply in love.
Rambova's career continued, appearing in a single film, then briefly on the New York stage; she became involved for a time with spiritualism, and in her last decades edited scholarly books on Egyptology.

Natacha Rambova was a woman who was born in the wrong time and place, and had to struggle against that as she made her own way in the world.

The curiously kohl-lined collision of Madame Alla Nazimova, Rudolph Valentino, and Natacha Rambova was not unlike the collision of fl holes observed by astronomers of the Chandra X-Ray Observatory in galaxy NGC 6240.
Pirouettes and tondues marked the early years of Rambova’s life during which she was a member of Theodore Koslov’s Imperial Russian Ballet.
The debaucherous Nazimova-Rambova-Koslov love triangle is rumoured to have culminated in a strikingly cinematic scene involving Rambova jumping out of her window and into a taxi cab after Koslov returned home early equipped with a rifle from a hunting excursion with Cecil B. DeMille.
