| Lawyer, born in Los Angeles, California, USA. Known for her attire, such as furs, feathers, oversized jewellery, and towering hats with flashing lights, she practised law in California for many years (1929–82). Her sex and murder cases were often dramatic, and her clients were often poor. Her biography is titled Defender of the Damned (1964). |
