Killing of Dot King

Rare card · No. 39501

On the morning of March 15, 1923, the body of Dorothy King, 29, (born Anna Marie Keenan) was found in her apartment at 144 West 57th Street in the Manhattan borough of New York City, United States. King was a model, actress, and demimondaine whom the press dubbed "The Broadway Butterfly". Her still-unsolved murder was a press sensation at the time it occurred. The term "sugar baby", originally New York City nightlife slang, may have been popularized by journalists reporting on the case.
