694) Louise Bryant

Louise Bryant (born Anna Louise Mohan, 1885 – 1936). American feminist, political activist, and journalist best known for her sympathetic coverage of Russia and the Bolsheviks during the Russian Revolution. Bryant, who married fellow journalist John Reed (her second husband) in 1916, wrote about Russian leaders such as Katherine Breshkovsky, Maria Spiridonova, Alexander Kerensky, Vladimir Lenin, and Leon Trotsky.
The Bryant–Reed story is told in the 1981 film Reds, starring Diane Keaton as Bryant and Warren Beatty as Reed.

- "Bryant was the season’s much-talked about beauty, with her striking red hair, green eyes, and flawless complexion." http://www.eoneill.com/references/egan/chapter1.htm

- "According to her biographer, Barbara Gelb, "she was slender and small-boned with vividly pretty Irish features - reddish-brown hair, a pert nose, mischievous mouth, and blue-gray eyes set widely apart in a heart-shaped face." [...] According to her biographer, Mary V. Dearborn: "A good student, known as a considerable flirt, she had grown into a beautiful woman, with auburn hair, creamy skin, and very long lashes of which she was vain." https://spartacus-educational.com/Jbryant.htm

- "That was the summer, too, when Bryant was photographed naked in the dunes, with her red hair flowing down her back nearly to her waist." https://books.google.it/books…

- "She was not beautiful, but terribly attractive in a provocative way, with her reddish hair, slim figure, enigmatic eyes..." https://books.google.it/books…
