Duncan's life was riddled with tragedy. In 1913, at the height of her fame, her two young children died when their driverless car rolled into the Seine River in Paris. A later baby was stillborn. When Duncan did at last wed, the marriage was short-lived and ended in separation, whereupon her husband killed himself. Isadora herself died in a freak auto accident only two years later. Fond of wearing long, flowing scarves, Duncan died when one accidentally entangled in the rear wheel of her Bugatti convertible, throwing her forcibly from the vehicle and strangling her.
