I wish this movie had included...


The Dorothy Hale incident, and Paulette Goddard.

Was the black nightclub singer in Paris supposed to be Josephine Baker?

I wish it had included what was reported to be the moment when Frida Kahlo was bring cremated. Apparently the distraught mourners started snatching the rings from her fingers and as she was consumed by flames her dead body sat up and her hair was on fire. It was described like her face being in the centre of a giant marigold. What an amazing image that could have been on film, and one in keeping with the imagery of her paintings.

Yeah, Julie Taymor could have done that well.
