My G-String Mother - At Home And Backstage With Gypsy Rose Lee (Paperback)

Erik was 12 when Gypsy decided she was through with striptease--'I'm forty-two years old. Too old to be taking my clothes off in front of strangers.' Her endless schemes for staying famous and maintaining their extravagant lifestyle--a best-selling writing career, a musical based on her life, a disastrous attempt to turn her home movies into a blockbuster--make for comedic yet poignant reading. "My G-String Mother" is a stylish, incisive portrait of two lives: an awkward adolescent who was as much confidante, co-conspirator, and companion as son, and the legendary woman who told police at a raid at the famous Minsky's burlesque house, 'I wasn't naked. I was completely covered by a blue spotlight.'
