They were temptresses of tease, specialists in seduction, and
experts at twirling their tassels. They were comics in outlandish
garb, straight men and women working the scenes, singers with
perfect pitch, and yes, even acrobats got into the act. Yet no
matter what their role, burlesque performers took their cues from
their predecessors who worked the various vaudeville and variety
show stages; and they strove to maintain a high level of artistry
and professionalism in the face of change and controversy in the
industry. Remembering the time when burlesque was a larger
theatrical arena including chorus lines, live music, and comedy,
Burlesque: Legendary Stars of the Stage captures the spirit of this
unique art form through hundreds of photographs, interviews, and
stories. Spurred by the deaths of some of burlesque's greatest
names, this book highlights the careers of selected artists and
their contributions to the art form. This second edition of the
original IPPY Award winning book from 2004 includes updates and
bonus chapters, as well as hundreds of additional photographs.
