EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enigmatic and scandalous relationship between Rosie Dolly, one half of the famous American identical twins, The Dolly Sisters, and Mortimer Davis Jnr, the wealthy heir to a 150 million fortune. The image, taken in 1927, portrays Rosie, dressed in an elegant evening gown, gazing intently at Mortimer, who is seated next to her, a broad smile on his face. The pair had married just a short time prior, but the union was brief, as Rosie swiftly filed for divorce later that same year. The Dolly Sisters, born in 1892, were renowned for their vaudeville and cabaret performances, captivating audiences with their striking similarity and synchronized acts. Mortimer Davis Jnr, on the other hand, was known for his substantial wealth and extravagant lifestyle. When the two met, the press went into a frenzy, documenting their every move and fueling the public's fascination with their whirlwind romance. The photograph stands as a testament to the allure and intrigue of the past, offering a glimpse into a time when celebrity marriages were as much about wealth and status as they were about love. Rosie and Mortimer's brief union may have ended in divorce, but their story continues to captivate historians and enthusiasts alike, reminding us of the complexities and contradictions that often define human relationships.
