Gypsy Rose Lee, born in 1911, originally came to notoriety as a burlesque stripper in the 1930s. Later she acted in Hollywood movies, wrote two novels "The G-String Murders" and "Mother Finds a Body", and a play. She published an autobiography "Gypsy" in 1957, in which she describes a childhood touring the vaudeville circuit as the less-talented sister of child act Baby June (who eventually herself became known as an actress in Hollywood movies under the name June Havoc). The autobiography was made into a stage musical "Gypsy" with music by Jule Styne and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and was eventually filmed twice. Gypsy Rose Lee died in 1970.
