Fun Facts

People often wonder – was that her real voice. Yes it was. That is actually how she talked.

And fans wonder to this day what she passed away from at a friend’s house in Princeton. Fans don’t know, her agent doesn’t know, her family doesn’t know and even Georgia doesn’t know because she was member of Christian Science. And the first rule of Christian Science is they maintain that Christian Science prayer is most effective against illness and disease when not combined with medicine.

Bess Houdini

popular name: Bess Houdini

date_of_death: February 11, 1943

age: 67

cause_of_death: Heart Attack

claim_to_fame: Show Business

best_know_for: Wilhelmina Beatrice “Bess” Rahner was born to German immigrants in Brooklyn, New York, in 1876. Her life changed while performing at Coney Island with “The Floral Sisters” act, catching the eye of Theo Houdini. However, Bess fell in love and ended up marrying Harry Houdini, Theo’s older brother, on June 22, 1894 (just three weeks after their first meeting). They started working together as ‘The Houdinis,’ with Harry as ‘The Handcuff King’ and Bess as his assistant, occasionally performing their signature trick: Metamorphosis. Bess enjoyed collecting dolls, caring for their pets, and designing costumes for Harry’s shows. They didn’t have children due to Bess’s medical condition. Harry Houdini died on October 31, 1926 from a ruptured appendix caused by peritonitis. He was punched in the abdomen by Jocelyn Gordon Whitehead on October 22, which may have contributed to the rupture. Houdini had severe abdominal pain, but he didn’t seek immediate medical help and continued performing for the next few days in great pain, leading to his death. Long after Houdini’s death Bess continued to hold séances in an attempt to communicate with her deceased husband, honoring a pact they made while he was alive. Despite persistent attempts, she never successfully contacted him and eventually called off.

But at home he went on to become one of the most prominent figures in the arts, prolific in films, on television and in the theatre; a brilliant raconteur with the air of a boulevardier, he was also one of the few French stars to be openly gay. In 1956, Brialy acted in his first role in the short film Le coup du berger (Fool's Mate) by Jacques Rivette. By the late 1950s, he'd become one of the most prolific actors in the French nouvelle vague and a star. He appeared in films of nouvelle vague directors such as Claude Chabrol (Le Beau Serge, 1958; Les Cousins, 1959), Louis Malle (Ascenseur pour l'échafaud, 1958; Les Amants, 1958), François Truffaut (Les 400 Coups, 1959), Jean-Luc Godard, (Une femme est une femme, 1961) and Éric Rohmer (Claire's Knee, 1970).
