Galina Orloff who was born in Russia, and came to America at the young age of 16 following the American Dream. She achieved this, and soon appeared on Broadway and in newspaper and magazine columns.
She managed to stay in the USA after he VISA ran out by marrying a balcony usher, who ended up falling madly in love with her. She was purely doing it to extend her time in the USA.
By 1935, she had met Charles “Lucky” Luciano, but he was soon shipped off to prison for his alleged role in nationwide prostitution in the following year, and Orlova was booted out of America and went to Paris. The relationship was said to have broken down by 1938. But Orlova was still trying to win her man back, and during the time of Lucky’s release in 1946 she tried to get access to see him in Italy, but her request was refused.
Orlova tried unsuccessfully to find love with other men, and columnists wrote that she still hoped for a “Lucky” reunion one day. She ended up turning down a marriage proposal from a Wall Streeter in the hopes she would get to regain her relationship with Lucky.
Lucky however, was settled in Italy, and just 2 years after his release he went on to meet Igea Lissoni in 1948.
Propelled into infamy for her scandalous affair with New York's 'Public Enemy Number 1' during the spring of 1936, Orlova's fairy tale life was only just beginning to unravel. A newsmaker long before the Lucky Luciano affair, and sadly - fodder for gossip columns for some years after, the shapely and sharp-tongued beauty never secured 'true love' and cycled through a series of jobs, lovers, failed marriages that ultimately ended in tragedy.
