Kathleen Eloisa Rockwell = Klondike KateWhile the weather is much too hot, we think of someone really cool, Klondike Kate.It was the Gold Rush... the 1890's... Yukon Territory.
Sometimes a mistress depended on her man to support her. Sometimes he depended on her to bail him out or give him the money to invest. Marion Davies did it when Hearst needed a loan. Maybe it takes a crisis to show that loyalty? That kind of "I believe in you" Love? Kate was instrumental in keeping her Mister in business, when he founded the Pantages Theatre!
Kathleen Eloisa Rockwell is celebrated today at Klondike Kate contests in places like Wisconsin, where ladies with some old time flash sing and imitate the dance hall Kate. As is usually the case, this mistress keeps us fascinated.
Thing about Kate is that she was apparently not so refined, maybe even rough and tumble. That was the personality and character that allowed a woman to succeed in the risky atmosphere of boom or bust.
