Thank you everyone. I hope you enjoyed a fun history lesson. I didn't realize until I started looking for pictures of her online that so many of them looked similar to a photo shoot I did last year. Errrrr I mean a few years ago.... OK at least 10 years ago. LOL

~~~Lydia...
I am going to visit Reno again one day. I love your story about your grandfather, and Lillie. I read the article about Virginia City. Very cool! I'll have to see what they have online about Piper's and see if they have the pic on the ceiling they say floated down to the stage when a young actress-singer sang one of Lillie's songs.

AND yes, John... we should cue up the scary music. LOL and blushity-blush thank you for the sweet comments.

As far as the pics & scanning them. Oh boy that should be a blog post in itself. LOL I am just beginning, and as soon as I get my groove going, I think I will post a how to. After-all it is on my 101 list. :-)

~~~Have a wonderful day, everyone and showing such wonderful interest in something dear to my heart.~~~

I can relate to working on several projects at once. I try to scan a few pics a day, and I wonder if I will ever get them all scanned. I would love to hear more about that task you're undertaking! How many photos do you think you have to scan? How many per day do you try to scan? Do you take photo albums apart and then put them back together! I obviously need advice on this project, but you don't have to answer all these questions LOL.

You certainly peeked my interest in Lillie Langtry! There's nothing wrong with comparing her beauty to yours. The photo comparisons you showed are eerily similar, wouldn't you say! I think your'e prettier than her. This whole thing would give me goose bumps too. I think you are really HER, reincarnated!

Cue the scary music!

A lily by any other name is still a jersey lily. O.K. I just made that up.

Great post!

You are so cool! There truly is a similarity in your looks, and I love the way you presented all these shots.
I do know about her. My mother often told how she was my grandfather's favorite -- saw her perform in person -- and I guess his admiration made my grandmother jealous at times.
Also, having been raised in Reno and frequenting Virginia City on family outings and later on teenage dates, I recall her photo and name on the wall at Piper's Opera House where she had played on stage. As a kid I would stare at her picture and think that she had delighted my grandfather (who died long before I was born)...it was all very surreal for me.
I just read a fascinating article about the Spirits of Virginia City, and Langtry is mentioned in it!

hehe... That was one of my nicknames some co-workers used to call me! I don't know much about her, except that the Judge thought she was the sweetest songbird that side of the Mississippi! I think it was in a movie. Now I'll have to read up on her.
