Helen Worley Cromwell

Helen Worley Cromwell born in Cicero, Indiana, in 1886, she was known far and wide as “Dirty Helen.” In the 1930s, ’40s, and ’50s, her Milwaukee bar (The Sunflower Inn) was a rendezvous for the famous and the infamous. Sports heroes, movie stars, gangsters, and regular folks all ‘pulled up the floor’ (there were no chairs or stools) to listen as Helen regaled them with stories of her wild life from her famously filthy mouth.
