“I did ‘Salome’ as a purgative”, declares Nazimova. “The trash I had played made me sick with myself. I wanted something so different, so fanciful, so artistic, that it would take the taste out of my mouth”. Costume designs for Salome were Natacha Rambova’s (including the iconic wig).

Caption reads : “Nazimova is seen as a waif of the streets in one picture and a foreign dancer in the next; obviously, neither custom or anything else can stale her infinite variety”.
