The great cabaret performer Hildegarde (born Hildegarde Loretta Sell in Adell, Wisconsin) never married, working and living with her partner Anna Sosenko for decades.
In 1955, after nearly a quarter century together, Hildegarde broke things off due to what she perceived as innuendo being printed in the paper about them after they appeared together on Edward R. Murrow's Person to Person TV show.
While that may have been the spark, the breakup had a long fuse, given that, reportedly, Sosenko was, for years, abusive, controlling and manipulative toward Hildegarde and pretty much everyone else around them. (See: Monica S. Gallamore, "Introducing the Incomparable Hildegarde: The Sexuality, Style, and Image of a Forgotten Cultural Icon." PhD diss. Marquette University 2012. pp. 253 ff.)
In this 1935 performance for British Pathé's cameras, Hildegarde performs "Darling, Je Vous Aime Beaucoup," a charming Frenglish love song written by Sosenko, whose mix of languages echoes that used by Hildegarde and Sosenko in their personal correspondence. (ibid., pp. 261-2)
Hildegarde, along with Mabel Mercer and Bobby Short, is on the figurative Mount Rushmore of New York cabaret. Nominations are currently open for the fourth slot.

The dinasty of the Karlingians('Vikings' version)
My ideal cast for an hypothetical series about the Franks and the Normans (yep, i'm obsessed with this idea xD!):
Alexander Wüst as Emperor Charlemagne
Keira Knightley as Empress Hildegard, Charlemagne's wife
Viggo Mortensen as Emperor Louis I the Pious
Liv Tyler as Empress Judith, Louis the Pious' wife
Ed Stoppard as Emperor Charles II the Bald
Olivia Ross as Empress Frederuna, Charles the Bald's wife (yes, i know it should be Ermentrude of Orléans, but by the messy Vikings' timeline it is so).
and the irreplaceable
Clive Standen as Rollo, I Duke of Normandy
Morgane Polawski as princess Gisla, Rollo's wife.

Thor #248 (Wein/Buscema, June 1976). Thor leads his buddies back to Asgard ‘cause Odin’s chicanery has gone too far again. This all feels terribly stagnant and repetitive…
