Mercedes de Acosta
Mercedes de Acosta (March 1, 1893 - May 9, 1968) was an American poet, playwright, costume designer, and socialite best known for her lesbian affairs with Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, Alla Nazimova, Eva Le Gallienne (http://www.evalegallienne.com), Isadora Duncan, Katharine Cornell, Maude Adams, Ona Munson ("Belle Watling" in the movie "Gone With the Wind"), Adele Astaire and others. It was a reputation not appreciated by everyone. As Alice B. Toklas wrote to a disapproving friend, Anita Loos, "You can't dispose of Mercedes lightly. She had the two most important women in U.S., Greta Garbo and Marlene Dietrich" (although some took that statement to refer to Eleanor Roosevelt).
