Louise (later to be known as Gypsy Rose Lee) sings to her little lamb as she ponders her real age. #HappyBirthday @CrowCAH ! #melodiousmusicals
This weekends haul all for $1.75!
A fascinating biography of Gypsy Rose Lee, who reinvented herself from a child vaudeville performer to a burlesque star in the 1920s. The book chronicles her rise to fame and infamy, as well as her complicated relationships with her demanding stage mother and actress June Havoc, her sister. An excellent snapshot of an ambitious woman whose career pushed boundaries in American entertainment.
After almost 4 hours of work, my library is organized!
