Tempest Storm, burlesque star who dated JFK and Elvis, dead at 93

2021-04-23

[NYPOST] Tempest Storm, the fiery
...a single two-syllable word carrying connotations of both incoherence and viciousness. A fiery delivery implies an audience of rubes and yokels, preferably forming up into a mob...
redhead known as a burlesque icon who starred in early Russ Meyer films, has died. She was 93.

Storm died in her Las Vegas apartment Tuesday, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported, and had been battling dementia in recent months. She also was struggling after undergoing hip surgery on April 8 and was under round-the-clock care until her death.

"Tempest was easily one of the best-known and highest-regarded burlesque [performers] of all time, and was an active part of the burlesque community right to the end," Burlesque Hall of Fame executive director Dustin Wax told the Review-Journal. "She will be missed terribly in the burlesque community and well beyond it."

She was the last of the great legends in the golden age of burlesque," added her longtime friend and business partner Harvey Robbins. "She was perhaps the biggest of all."

She looks tall.
Perhaps worthy of a Good Morning segment.

#2 Had a very interesting experience. A woman friend began a relationship with a guy whose ex was a burlesque woman. He had possession of something of value to the burlesque woman and gave it to his new lady friend who dared the burlesque woman to come and get it from her of she wanted it back. It seemed only moments when the front door opens without a knock and in walks this stunningly hot burlesque woman who walks over to the living room coffee table picks up her item and then leaves. As soon as the woman saw her come through the door she was so intimidated she was literally started shaking in shock and sudden fear of this extremely confident, beautiful and clearly fearless creature. We all sat there stunned at what so unexpectedly just occured.
