Did famous performer Sophie Tucker inspire the economic boom of the 1960s? Perhaps, as this clip from the documentary "The Outrageous Sophie Tucker" reveals in this eyewitness account of the time Sophie Tucker picked up the phone and called President John F. Kennedy in 1962 and told him to not sign a bill taxing dividends.

I've always been interested to bizarre history and Sophie Tucker was behind a lot of historical things that we are not aware of. One example besides the one I gave in the video about book signings, is she was the FIRST client of William Morris. Her entertainment career also kicked off at the viewing of the first nickelodeon movies.
