In 1965, an impoverished elderly woman was found dead in a hotel room in Nice, France. Her death marked the end of an era. She was the last of the great European courtesans. Known as La Belle Otero, she was a volcanic Spanish beauty whose patrons included Kaiser Wilhelm II, the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII), and Grand Duke Peter Nikolaevich of Russia. She is also sometimes credited as the world’s first movie star. She accumulated an enormous fortune, but gambled it all away. Upon her death, a rare species slipped into extinction, quietly and unnoticed. 1965年，在法国尼斯的一家酒店房间里，一名贫穷的老妇人被发现死亡。她的去世标志着一个时代的结束。她是最后一位伟大的欧洲妓女。她名叫拉贝尔·奥特罗（La Belle Otero），是一位火山喷发的西班牙美女，其赞助人包括威尔士亲王威廉二世（Kaiser Wilhelm II，后来的国王爱德华七世）和俄罗斯大公彼得·尼古拉维奇（Peter Nikolaevich）。她有时也被认为是世界上第一位电影明星。她积累了一大笔财富，但全部输光了。在她死后，一个稀有物种悄悄地悄无声息地灭绝了。
