F. Scott Fitzgerald said his real claim to fame was not penning “This Side of Paradise” or “The Great Gatsby,” but rather discovering Bricktop before Cole Porter. Tune-in to discover more about Ada “Bricktop” Smith, “Cabaret Queen of Paris and Rome.”

Bricktop's father was Irish and her mother was black. She got her freckles,red hair and fair skin from her Irish father. This is why she was nicknamed Bricktop.
The previous comment is incorrect. Bricktop's mother was a mixed woman of African-American and white heritage, and her father was Black.
Bricktop got her red hair and freckles from her GRANDfather, not her father. It is widely known that Bricktop's mother was the result of a 'relationship' between an African-American woman and her Irish 'owner' (Bricktop's mother was born enslaved).
