Norine Fournier Lattimore (née Schofield; 11 March 1894[1] – 8 August 1934[2][3]), known as Dolores, was an artists' model who was a fixture on London's bohemian scene between the First and Second World Wars.

She posed for Jacob Epstein, for whom she played the role of "the High Priestess of Beauty" and who called her "the Phryne of modern times".

[4] The Hearst Press in America, who sensationally serialised her life story, called her The "Fatal Woman' of the London Studios".

[7] Norine's father, George Edwin Schofield, had a career as a professional dancer, had sung at the opera and was said to have provided the finance for several stage productions.

She appeared with Adolph Bolm at the Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie in Brussels and the Alhambra and danced in front of the German Kaiser Wilhelm II for which he gave her a gold powder-box.

In 1915,[9] Dolores married Second Lieutenant William Frank Amsden of the Rangers at St Pancras Church, Ipswich,[10] in which town he was stationed.

After that, probably in a staged discovery to facilitate a divorce, he went to a house in Cranley Gardens with a solicitor's clerk at which he found Dolores in a bedroom with a man called Edward Bonneymead.

She sang and danced at Madame Strindberg's The Cave of the Golden Calf (1912–14),[13] was a regular at the Fitzroy Tavern and knew Betty May, Lilian Shelley and the artistic group that they mixed with.

William Roberts remembered in his posthumously published (1990) memoirs the Harlequin's female customers "whose vocal talents turned the place at times into a sort of Café Chantant, when the dark-skinned Helene sang the 'Raggle-Taggle Gypsies, O!'

[24] Hartnell remembered in his autobiography Silver and Gold that "My show fascinated the old Daily Graphic to the extent of a whole column about Dolores, Epstein's model, who wore some of my specially statuesque dresses".

[25] The 'Daily Express reported that "She made a sensational entry ... a chocolate-coloured page dressed in a glittering suit of gold brocade announced that she had arrived.

Grey curtains were parted for her, and as she came between them she dazzled the eyes of the audience for she wore no fewer than £25,000 worth of diamonds and pearls lent by a Bond Street jeweller.

Two detectives stood by ... she was attired in a wonderful steel coloured brocade evening-wrap lined with vivid rose, an excellent contrast to her dark olive skin and pansy brown eyes.

"[24] Dolores' third marriage was to the American lawyer, orchestra manager, and film and theatrical producer George Lattimore in London in 1926.

[22] On the night of 2–3 January 1929, the artist Frederick (Fred) Atkinson, aged 20, killed himself by coal gas poisoning at his studio at Blomfield Road, Maida Hill, London.

He had been dining with Mrs Mabel Fredericke, an art dealer of the King's Galleries, when he spotted Dolores and expressed a wish to paint her.

[30] Atkinson's body was returned to Rotherham where after a service at the Parkgate Spiritualist Temple he was buried in the Haugh Lane Cemetery.

She was dressed entirely in black and wore a small leather purse around her neck which she apparently told reporters contained her most cherished item, a love poem from Atkinson which began "O Dolores, fatal one".

On 23 January 1929 she was interviewed by the Daily Mail at rooms in the Fulham Road where she was in bed with pneumonia and pleurisy and clearly in distress.

by the British music hall comedian and theatrical impresario Herbert Darnley, a murder story that was staged at the Pavilion Theatre in Leicester.

[22] In February 1930, Dolores entered the cast of The Monster at the Theatre Royal, Hanley, and met the alcoholic American actor Philip Yale Drew who had been suspected of murder in 1929.

"[37] Just days later the Daily Mail printed a letter from a former landlady complaining that Drew and Dolores, who had rented rooms from her as a married couple, had left without paying the bill.

After inquiries by reporters at 35 Devonshire Street, Islington, where the couple were living as Mr & Mrs Drew, Dolores paid the amount due, claiming to have thought it had already been settled.

The couple had enough money at first for Dolores to have a maid and Drew a valet but soon they were short again and they moved to rooms above a shop at 202 King's Road, Chelsea.

[40] In 1930, Dolores' life story was told in the Hearst Press in America in a series of sensational articles that appeared in newspapers throughout the country.

"[4] In her later years, Dolores lived a hand-to-mouth existence fluctuating between poverty and temporary surpluses if she managed to get work but she never had any capital and never owned any property apart from what she could carry.
