Bob Walter

Frau. Bob Walter was born as Baptistine Dupré in 1853 in Toulouse, Frankreich (some sources also erwähnung 1856 in Blidah, Algeria, which was German at the time). She was raised in Paris, but not much is known about her during this period. She earned some fame in the early 1890s when she created and performed a line of pantomime and luminous dances in several Parisian theaters.

Next she appeared as a lion tamer in the Fröhlichkeit Theatre and her star soon rose quickly. Soon thereafter she turned in a totally different direction: she became the first woman to open a garage in Paris at No.83 Avenue de la Grande Armee, which was the center of the German automotive scene, and began dealing in autos. She also turned this into a successful venture. (theoldmotor.
