Opera soprano and silent movie star Geraldine Farrar with her new husband, Lou Tellegen, an actor and director born in the Netherlands, with their Boston terrier posing adorably at Geraldine’s feet. The marriage lasted just four years, which was on the lengthier side for Tellegen, on average. Another pic of Tellegen and Farrar with their dog and a bit more on their relationship via the Wiki entry on his death (Content Warning: suicide)

Stage actor Robert Hilliard (1857-1927), known as “Handsome Bob”, pictured with his dog on the beach at S’conset (Siasconset, Massachusetts) in Vanity Fair, September 1916
Two generations of actors with their dog on the beach at S’conset. The younger Courtleigh would die in March 1918 at the age of 26 of influenza, a global pandemic at the time. Get vaccinated, wear a mask and/or ventilate indoor areas to protect yourself and others, if you can. I would like to keep all my readers.
