Nellie Cameron
Nellie Cameron (1910–1953), known as "The Kiss of Death Girl", was a notorious Sydney prostitute in the 1920s and 1930s, who was featured extensively in the 2011 Australian television mini-series ''Underbelly: Razor''. Cameron was associated with the cocaine-fuelled ravages of the razor gang violence of that era, commonly associated with her contemporaries, Tilly Devine and Kate Leigh, both criminal entrepreneurs who controlled much of Sydney's illegal sex industry and Sly-grog distribution during that period. Nellie Cameron received 73 criminal convictions during her life of crime, mainly for soliciting and vagrancy, and had the distinction of becoming the first woman in Australia to be convicted of consorting with criminals.〔"Ellen Katherine (Nellie) Cameron (1910–1953)", Obituaries Australia, National Centre of Biography, Australian National University, ('Ellen Katherine (Nellie) Cameron (1910–1953)' ), accessed 7 November 2011.〕
