Ganna Walska was a Polish opera singer and garden enthusiast who emigrated to America and married six times. In 1926 she purchased the Duchess of Marlborough's Faberge egg offered by Consuelo Vanderbilt at a charity auction. It was later acquired by Malcolm Forbes as the first Easter egg in his Faberge egg collection.
