Historical Scarlet Women

[Tinman]

I'm trying to find more information on the historical scarlet women; specifically does anyone have any pictures/paintings of, biographical information (such as birthday and deathday) on, and mottos/"pet" names of:

Mary d'Este Sturges

Roddie Minor

Marie Rohling

Bertha Almira Prykryl

[Persephone]

93 Tinman,
Mary D'Este Sturges had a son named Preston who became a movie director and screenwriter. He wrote an autobiography.
93 93/93 Persephone

[Jim Eshelman]

Preston's mini-bio here includes some of the basics I already know about his mother's life:
www.imdb.com/name/nm0002545

The key to researching her is to spell the name "Desti" instead of the more pretentions form. You may find these links interesting:
