She was a dancer and jazz enthusiast who in the 1940s and early 1950s was romantically connected with jazz musicians Johnny Bothwell and later Don Lanphere.She met Parker in the 1940s, but their friendship did not become romantic until years later.
As it developed, their relationship had to surmount several obstacles, including Charlie's drug and alcohol abuse and the interracial nature of their relationship at a time when American society was still largely segregated.
