(July 29, 1924 - January 15, 1947). She was an American woman and the victim of a gruesome and much-publicized murder. Short acquired the moniker posthumously by newspapers in the habit of nicknaming crimes they found particularly colorful. Short was found mutilated, her body sliced in half at the waist, on January 15, 1947, in Leimert Park, Los Angeles, California.
Short's unsolved murder has been the source of widespread speculation, leading to many suspects, along with several books and film adaptations of the story.
on july 29th, 2012 antebellum gallery will honor elizabeth short's birthday with artworks, live performances and readings by poet- ALEX GILDZEN.
I usually prune back my roses on the anniversary of Elizabeth Short’s death.
I used to do it on Valentine’s Day, but Jan. 15 is better for theroses and seems more appropriate.
And I have a nice crop by her birthday, July 29, which I find a much better day to celebrate.
