Description: Louise Weber (1866-1929) was 'La Goulue', the famed cancan dancer of Le Moulin Rouge, and the highest-paid performer of her day.nnShe was dubbed 'La Goulue' or The Glutton for her habit of downing the drinks off tables as she danced past. This vibrant, audacious and gutsy sensualist would high-kick the hats off male customers' heads with a toe during her routine. And dance on the table tops, and flash a red heart embroidered on her under garments.nnPerhaps Jewish and from L'Alsace, Louise Weber
