Fosse makes reference to it in his highly biographical All that Jazz film. And there is material on it in the definitive bio of him, All His Jazz. He started playing the burlesque circuit at 15, while still in high school, and you can see it in a number of his dance routines. Nobody knows why his mother let him work the strip joints as a kid.
Thanks for the tip.
I liked All That Jazz even though it was historically inaccurate.
I'll search the bio.
BTW Tempest Storm still rocks. Gypsy Rose just got better publicity.
Where are you getting this stuff. You're driving me crazy!!!
But in a nice way.
