Original Title: TIL about La Belle Otero, a 19th-century Spanish courtesan with hypnotic black eyes, famous for her numerous high profile lovers. Six men allegedly committed suicide over her. She inspired hotel architecture with her figure, amassed $25M, lost it all gambling, and died penniless at 96.
