Alla Nazimova born Marem-Ides Leventon, Russian: Марем-Идес Левентон; June 3 [O.S. May 22], 1879 – July 13, 1945) was a Russian-American actress, director, producer and screenwriter.
On Broadway, she was noted for her work in the classic plays of Ibsen, Chekhov and Turgenev. She later moved on to film, where she served many production roles, both writing and directing films under pseudonyms. Her film Salome (1922) is regarded as a cultural landmark. Nazimova was bisexual and openly conducted relationships with women while being married to a man.[3] She created the Garden of Allah hotel which became a retreat for many celebrities of the time. She is credited with having originated the phrase "sewing circle" as a discreet code for lesbian or bisexual actresses.

In the way of the day, she didn't want the public to know it, but neither was she very attentive to preserving the illusion of her wedded bliss...Some time after War Brides—which among its other demands kept her on the road off and on with [husband Charles] Bryant for a year—she fell in with the self-proclaimed Ukrainian expatriate-cum-designer/performer, Natasha Rambova (née Winifred Shaughnessy; a.k.a. Winifred Hudnut).
