In 1861 a baby girl was born to a Mr. and Mrs. Leonard of Clinton, Iowa. This squirming, little red-faced bundle was Helen Leonard, later to become famous as the beautiful Lillian Russell. Throughout her first night in this world, young Helen screamed lustily. The fond father gazing into the tiny face shook his head in wonderment.
