Eve Babitz

ram_rich · February 6th, 2023, 12:12 AM

Anyone heard of free-spirited Eve, who supposedly has dated many stars of Hollywood back in the day and has had a book written about her life?

She's also famous for playing a chess match in an art gallery with a famous chess master completely nude (of which I discovered her elsewhere).
I was wondering if there are more pix of her elsewhere; found these on a couple of sites while I was searching for someone else.

Here's post 1 of 2. She's playing chess with Marcel Duchamp, who is better known as an artist. This photo is the one most often reproduced.

Post 2 of 2. Note: the quoted post included a third photo that appears to be have been altered for humorous effect.

Here's an article about Eve from "C Magazine," Spring 2022

One of my favorite writers. First to make a convincing case for LA as a cultural capital. Knew everyone, did everything and wrote about it all with wit and honesty. And sexy as fuck, to boot. RIP, lady.

Has anyone figured out if that's a shadow on her leg or her bush?
