Nina Mae McKinney
Nina Mae McKinney dubbed the "Dusky Clara Bow"- with light skin; a pouty mouth; large eyes; keen features; dark straight hair; and energy to burn.
Born in 1913 in Lancaster, South Carolina.
Known to spend wildly: on clothes, on jewelry, on friends, on nights on the town; eventually, on drugs.
Married Jimmy Monroe, left (a one time husband of Billie Holiday, right) and Nina's manager at the time.
