Some Frida Trivia:Question: When did Frida Kahlo develop a passion for painting?Answer: On September 17, 1925, when she was 18, Frida was involved in a serious trolley accident. The accident left her with a broken spinal column, a broken collarbone, broken ribs, a broken pelvis, and eleven fractures in her right leg. Also, her right foot was dislocated and crushed, and her shoulder was out of joint. Frida spent a month lying on her back. She was encased in a plaster cast and enclosed in a boxlike structure. She began painting to pass the time while healing in bed. It became her lifelong passion. Question: How many operations did Frida have in an attempt to alleviate her pain and suffering?Answer: Frida had 32 operations in an attempt to quell some of her lasting pain from the accident. She lived with bouts of pain and discomfort throughout her life, and was often bedridden and or hospitalized for periods of time. In addition to the operations to alleviate her pain, she also wore different kinds of corsets and was subjected to mechanical "stretching" systems. Question: When did Frida's lifelong physical suffering actually begin? Answer: Frida's physical suffering began when she contracted polio at the age of five. As a result, the illness caused her right leg to appear much thinner than her left, and it remained that way permanently. Question: Why did the real Frida give her birth date as July 7, 1910, contradicting the July 6, 1907 birth date on her birth certificate?Answer: 1910 was the year of the outbreak of the Mexican Revolution. Frida wanted her life to begin with the modern Mexico. Question: Was Frida Kahlo really a bisexual? Answer: Yes, she was. Frida had many lovers, both men and women, including the communist, Leon Trotsky.
