In her youth she almost never wore her hair without bangs or fringe in the front. There is a little bit on that on the vase, but not much. In the 20th century she seems to have given up wearing bangs, but she retired from the stage in 1889 and only infrequently came back to do a performance or a reading... mostly for charity benefits.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
