    Pretty Dulcie Markham didn’t choose to be Australia’s most notorious gangster moll, that life chose her, or so she would claim.
    Many men in relationships with her ended up in an early grave in gangland killings, so much so that the press dubbed her the 'Angel of Death' - But pretty Dulcie said she was just an ordinary gal. In her own words: “Believe me, I’m just an ordinary girl; these things have been thrust upon me”.
    I look back on the highs and lows of Dulcie’s life - and that of the other female underworld personalities her shared her world in the 1920s razor gang era.

    Well the next couple of videos that I will be posting on TH-cam, have already been demonetised by TH-cam.
    I've been on TH-cam since 2008 (and made this channel in 2010) ...longer guaranteed than the people from Google who are pressing the buttons at the moment - YT pretending that advertisers don't want to place their brands on mature content....absolute rubbish)
    It's not up to me or TH-cam for that matter to monitor what other people's children watch on the internet; that is the responsibility of the parents themselves. There is a separate TH-cam for kids.

    Hello Oddie and thank you for this interesting story that I hadn't heard of before. Listening to it I was reminded of 2 dear elderly spinster sisters which I helped out and who were actually born at Crown St Women's Hospital and who spent their early years in Ultimo in inner city Sydney, for those who are not Australians. They shared with me stories of living there in the 1930's and 40's and of watching the prostitutes sit on the stoop of their brothel while peeking from the windows of their semi detached house the road from the house of disrepute watching the ladies of the night sit there picking the nits out of each other's hair. Of course their mother forbade them to have anything to do with these women, but while their mother was busy with household chores, they would watch them from their second story room. It was a life, for them at least, of harsh unending poverty and enormous fear of their elderly father, who was known to levitate and scream at the demons riding on his shoulders! I doubt that anyone on that street lived a happy existence and these dear sisters lived a life of misery and ill health, trusting very few humans but were great cat lovers as I am today, trying to keep alive their memory with snippets of their life story on channels such as this! The irony, when reflecting upon the abject poverty of inner city Sydney of the early and mid years of the 20th century and today is that those areas such as Ultimo are now full of million dollar properties and higher in some cases, and all that is left of the brothels and rodent infested tenements are stories like Dulcie's and Wyn and Ethyl! So we must keep them alive for generations to come. Thanks for reading!

    Thank you, Oddie, you are a wonderful story teller! Wow, she loved Mafia Men! I used to think loving a mafia guy would keep me safe! Of course, I was wrong! Too me, with all her dead lovers..she was a black Widow! It's hard to believe anyone would want to live in such constant danger. Kings Cross, sounds a lot like "Times Square" in NYC when I lived there in the early 70's. It was filled with bright lights of Porno Theaters, Drug Dealers, Hookers & hustlers. That being said, it reminds me of one of my old favorite films, "Midnight Cowboy" Dustin Hoffman & John Voight). Partially filmed in the Times Square area. It's almost July 4th in 2 days, celebrating America's Independence Day. Good time for some BBQ's! Of course, my cats freak out when they hear fireworks going off! Sending you and yours blessings & lots of love:)) You are a true Master of your Art of Story telling with extremely nice videos:)) I look forward to everything you post! Have a wonderful day💞

    So sorry that you're having a rough time dealing with being demonetised - that's not right! Your stories are true and real and need to be told.
    Thanks for sharing this one. I'd be really interested in knowing how Dulcie got into a life of crime at such a young age. Women who live lives of crime, especially if they reform later on, are always fascinating to me, partly because their lives are usually so different from mine.
    The stories you tell are worth being told, and everyone should be aware of these tales. Thanks for always having such excellent content so well done.

      ⁠@@ObsoleteOddityit’s surprising how many times you read the phrase: ‘tax collectors and other sinners’ in the the Bible. Of course at the time, tax collectors were taking money from their own people to pay the Roman government to help pay for their occupation of Palestine. Naturally they would skim some off the top so they were considered the lowest of the low.

I'm sorry you're going through all that garbage with TH-cam. I watch music reactions too, usually young people hearing songs from the 70's, 80's and 90's for the first time, experiencing what we grew up with and it's a delight to see them "exposed" to and respond to the music that was our jam 😆 Unfortunately YT tends to block them so a lot of these youtubers distort the video somehow, put some writing across it or fade it so much that you can hardly see just to try and avoid YT deleting it. Some only play audio which isn't the same as watching the original music video of the time. Try not to be disheartened, seems that YT just want to make trouble for people. Keep up the good work you have a great channel.

    I have always had a soft spot for women like her. When you are young and beautiful, and not to live the life cut out for you…what can a girl do but take what she could get using the tools at hand?
    She was 15, and you know the men promising the world were a good deal older than that. The rise up to the glittering world of a recognizable “dangerous lady” was heady, and filled with champagne and compliments, and jewellery.
    The tenure generally not that long, and the end…beauty gone, and no longer in demand, seen by the rest of society as a “fallen woman”. She was lucky to have a good Husband who loved her in her declining years when age and injury betrayed her.
    She was a later example of girls like Miss Nesbit, except her rich men came about their wealth in less seemly ways. They ALL wanted fresh young women of beauty much too young for them. Given better choices and options, she could have had a great life…but that wasn’t the part of town where she was born and raised.
    Thanks Oddie, there have always been, and will always be women who seek and find lives of danger, glamour, and infamy. And they often find it. You did her justice here. Much love and light. 🖤🇨🇦

    • @ObsoleteOddity
      @ObsoleteOddity  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes she got caught up in it very young, was influenced and led - and before she knew it, was deeply involved.
      I guess it was the feeling of excitement at the start, also a lot more money than she’d ever seen before.
      After a certain period she could only see this as a way of making money - until in the end it just became too dangerous, and she finally settled down.
      You’re right, she was lucky to find someone who would love her, a lot of these women didn’t have such a happy ending.

      Although I have had some admonishments from very few, who don’t think prostitutes deserve their story to be told.
      I would heartily disagree. One lady on my Patreon and I actually had to block, she got so furious.

      I haven't been to Dulcie's grave, but I have seen Nellie Cameron's grave. Interestingly, the bloke Nellie married before she died Charlie Bourke, well he was ambushed and shot on the front steps of his family home in Norton Street Randwick in 1964. He was a crime figure from as far back as the 1930s. Anyway, I was in the same class at school as his son Chris in 1967 and I used to visit him at the same house. Chris actually showed me the exact spot where he was shot and he also showed me the bushes next door where the killers were hiding when they shot his dad. Nellie was not his mother though as Charlie Bourke had remarried after Nellie's death. Just thought you may like to know.

One of which I work for, that being the Isis theater on Main st. I would also look into Riscky’s steakhouse on Exchange Ave, there’s actually a video about it on TH-cam where people went in and picked up multiple voices on their machine. Lastly, also on Exchange Ave is Miss Molly’s, it’s technically the most haunted hotel in all of America. Take a look into them and hope you enjoy their very haunted history!
