If the wild life of Lina Basquette had been filmed, it would have been dismissed as absurdly melodramatic. Judi Hendrickson will discuss the life of the actress, who was also noted for her many marriages, including her first, to the much older Sam Warner, founder of Warner Bros. Studios. Basquette's tumultuous personal life included an infamous meeting with Adolph Hitler. In her later life she was known worldwide as a breeder of Great Danes. Lina died in Wheeling in 1994.
