| In the
striptease domain, there is only one name that is universally
known and loved, that of Gypsy Rose Lee. She turned stripping
into an art, and gave the art class. But Gypsy Rose Lee's talent
was greater than the burlesque world. She wrote novels and a
play, headlined the 1939 New York World's Fair, starred in films
and became a television celebrity. Her own autobiography, "Gypsy,"
was turned into a Broadway musical and, later, a major motion
picture. |
