Fannie Porter was one of the most iconic madames during the times of the Wild Wild West. She started working as a sex working at 15 years old. By the age of 20 she was already widowed and owned her own brothel in San Antonio, Texas. She right in the middle of the "Sporting District," which was actually a red light district.

Her brothel was known to host all of the bad boys, including Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, plus the whole Wild Bunch. She served as somewhat of a headquarters for the outlaws and ended up kind of being a matchmaker for them. Of course, she catered to the lawmen as well. She ran a respectful hideout and was known for how secretive she was about the clientele and what she may have known about their plans, actions, and whereabouts.
