Seroff, Victor. THE REAL ISADORA. (1971). ****. Seroff was a noted biographer of, primarily, musicians and composers. He decided to write this biography of his friend Isadora Duncan after reading the other ones, including memoirs, that were written about her. Apparently, this even includes Duncan’s own autobiographies. Seroff was a good friend of Duncan towards the end of her life and was able to piece together a mostly true story of her life and career through personal interviews ...

Considered to be the most accurate account of Duncan's life. Includes an ample center photo spread. The book was written by a musician who was her intimate friend, and also the biographer of such luminaries as Prokofiev, Shostakovich, Debussy and others. From the book jacket: "Triumphant and comforted by rich admirers, peniless and surrounded by spongers, here is the whole story of Isadora, an American girl, roots deep in her native California, who was memorialized the world over."
