On April 21, 1924, the first "modern actor", Eleonora Duse,
died in Pittsburgh while on tour in the United States.
"Every great actor must, almost of necessity, be a highly complex creature: potentially both demon and saint, with countless delicate degrees of good and evil jostling and overlapping between the two. And Duse was the greatest actress of her time - perhaps of all time." Eva Le Gallienne
