Actress Gloria Swanson arriving in her 1957 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud to perform at the Westport County Playhouse in Westport, Connecticut, 1961.

Swanson took delivery of the Rolls Royce new while living in France.

It was flown from England to Paris, where her chauffeur picked it up at the airport.

Swanson's initials were monogrammed on each rear door.

Later, she had the car shipped to New York, where she kept it at her apartment on Fifth Avenue.

Swanson would take the car to Florida on trips and also drive it to Los Angeles, where she lived from time to time.

She usually had a driver but would occasionally drive the Rolls Royce herself.

Scientists found four different types of yeast in the “brownish” water that had melted inside Europe’s oldest known human mummy.

Although initial efforts did not work, after three months of trying,
