Born in 1900 to a soon-to-be-widowed postmaster's wife in a small French village, Hélène Delangle's background offered no suggestion of the extraordinary life she was to lead. The first step was to leave the country behind and head to the city -- in this case, a Paris in the grip of an intoxicating 1920s blend of creativity and debauchery. She became a dancer, and then a stripper. But the demi-monde of gauze veils and admirers was not enough. A visit to the Actors' Championships, a uniquely French meeting of the theatrical world with the race-track, opened her eyes to the glamorous combination of machines and speed. Quickly establishing herself as a racer of uncommon talent and audacity, the beautiful woman now known as Hellé Nice -- Hellish Nice to her British fans -- then caught the attention of none other than Ettore Bugatti, founder of the marque with which her name will always be associated. And yet, despite the fame and the fortune she amassed in an unprecedented career, she died penniless and alone, an old woman in a crumbling Nice flat surrounded only by memories. THE BUGATTI QUEEN is the story of a great pioneer of motor racing who happened to be a woman. Re-creating her rollercoaster career with great verve and panache, Miranda Seymour brilliantly shows us a life now forgotten -- and makes it unforgettable.

Excerpt: ... total amount expended up to that time being " 176, 6, 7i, {not including clothing, &c, received from home." * * *) He was graduated in the class of 1767, his diploma in Latin being dated "Nassau Hall on the day before the Callends of October, 1767," and signed by the Rev. William Tennent, pres.; Elihu Spinner, John Blair, John S. Brainerd, Johannes McQus, Richardus Treat, and Carolus Macknight. This diploma was, in 1875, in the hands of Dr. Otho Evans, of Franklin, Warren County, Ohio, whose mother was a granddaughter of the Rev. Wm. Schenck. After leaving college he studied theology with the Rev. "William Tennent at Freehold, New Jersey, and was licensed by the Presbytery of New Brunswick in 1770. During this time he was intimately associated with the family of one of the old Scotch Presbyterians, Robert Cumming, whilom High Sheriff of Monmouth County, who lived at Matealapau, in the vicinity of the Tennents, and with whom he for a time lived while prosecuting his theological studies, and whose daughter, Anna Cumming, he married on the 7th day of March, 1786. She was born at Monmouth, New Jersey, 3d May, 1750, and died at Franklin, Ohio, 23d June, 1838, "a mother of many children and as full of virtuous honors aB of years." Her grandmother was Catherine van Brugh, of New York city, who married first John Noble, an English gentleman, and married second, 23 August, 1738, the Rev. William Tennent, Jun. This fact may, to some extent, account for some of the movements of the Rev. Mr. Schenck, as, in 1777, he went to Bucks County, Pa., the seat of the famous "log college," founded by the Rev. "William Tennent, Sen. The year succeeding his entry into the ministry, in 1771, he was ordained pastor of the Presbyterian church at Allentown, ...
