Famous Last Will and Testament Dancer Isadora DuncanAbout the last will and testament of famous American dancer Isadora Duncan.WHERE THERE'S A WILL
ISADORA DUNCAN, U.S. dancer, died 1927
Last Will: "Written in clear conscience," a hasty scribble on four pages of pocket-sized notebook paper deeded all property to her husband, Bolshevik poet Serge Esenin, in 1922. In event of his death--which occurred when he committed suicide in 1925--the will made Isadora's brother Augustin sole legatee.

Hers was the first will of a Soviet citizen to be probated in the U.S. | ||
