A lot of people don't realized just how big Gypsy Rose Lee was in her day. Which lasted a long time, by the way. My wife, coincidentally, is at this very moment reading a book called "American Rose: The Life and Times of Gypsy Rose Lee." Says she was a sort of early Ophrah. She even had her own talk show in the sixties.
I know, I know. That’s LIFE, I guess.
Along with the article on Wavell, notice to the famous picture on page 29. Now I wonder exactly when that was taken.
