Nice lady:

Active communist sympathizers, Kahlo and Rivera befriended Leon Trotsky as he sought political sanctuary from Joseph Stalin's regime in the Soviet Union during the late 1930s. In 1937 initially, Trotsky lived with Rivera and then at Kahlo's home (where he had an affair with Kahlo)[4]. Trotsky and his wife then moved to another house in Coyoacán where, later, in 1940 he was assassinated.

There was a movie about them, Selma Hydchek (sic) played the role IIRC.
