In her youth, famed operetta composers Gilbert and Sullivan were guests in her father's house. She was courted by potentates, noblemen, and millionaires, including William Randolph Hearst, two Russian czars, and the Crown Prince Baudouin of Belgium. But Sibyl's short life was plagued by onstage breakdowns, unscrupulous managers, personal tragedy, and an ill-fated marriage to the handsome, hedonistic Cuban playboy Antonio Terry.".
