Isadora Duncan went through many hardships in her life. First, when she was little, her father left her family and moved away without any notice. Since only her father was left to fully support her family, they became extremely poor. Later in life, her two children drowned while they were under the supervision of their English nanny. She also divorced her husband, Sergei Esenin, and he committed suicide shortly after that. Isadora Duncan died when her scarf was caught in the wheels of a speeding Bugatti sports car in Nice, France. Her life was definitely a tragic one at times.
