A prostitute and her companion were among several ladies of the evening who loitered outside their brothel in Montmartre, Paris in 1908 when they were approached by Pablo Picasso who invited to dinner. At first, they politely declined, pointing out that they were working, but Picasso convinced two of them to accompany the group. At the restaurant, one of the ladies moved off towards the dance floor while the other joined Picasso's table, then Picasso sent her to dance with Norman Rockwell, and she dragged him to the dance floor. They were later joined on the dance floor by Fernande Olivier and Indiana Jones.
Meanwhile, the pimps came out of the brothel and saw that two of their girls were gone. One of the remaining prostitutes told them that the two had left with Picasso. When the pimps arrived at the restaurant, the prostitute dancing with Rockwell tried to stay out of sight, but when a brawl started, she jumped in and attacked the pimps, then escaped with the rest of the group. Outside, the two prostitutes bid their farewells before running off.
Behind the scenes[]
Prostitute #1 was played by Michaela Flenerova in the Paris, September 1908 episode of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. Of the three prostitutes, it is not necessarily clear which Prostitute is #1 or #2. The two with clear spoken lines are the one who responds to Picasso's invitation (and later dances with Rockwell), and the one who remains behind, and directs the pimps.
