| #4 I helped support Gypsy Rose Lee's career. I went to see her in the 50s. By today's standards, the burlesque show was rather tame. I don't know whether or not any of you are old enough to have visited a burlesque house but it was interesting. Usually these shows were in old theaters. The women in the show were artful. The striptease show (emphasis on tease) was mixed with a fair number of standup comedians, some of which were quite funny and often had a unique talent that was featured. Many of our earlier comedians got their start in Vaudville or burlesque. |

#3  June was Gypsy Rose Lee's more talented sister. At one time she was down and out, and found work as a marathon dancer. She never really hit the big time like Louise (Gypsy Rose) did, but she did hit the fairly large time with her own teevee show in the '50s. |
