GPSY ROSE LEE MOVIE
In 1937, she made her film debut in the movie "Ali Baba Goes to Town," under her real name, Louise Hovick.
She became popular as a stripper, and brought a form of respectability to it. She took the stage name, Gypsy Rose Lee, mostly on a whim. The audience loved it, and Gypsy had found her calling. Performer that she was, instead of just stripping to music, she danced and teasingly took only a few items off, adding more tease than strip to the performance. Finally, Gypsy took a job stripping in a burlesque house, at the age of 15. When June ran away with a chorus boy (she was 13), Gypsy formed a new act called "Rose Louise and Her Hollywood Blondes," which proved modestly successful. They made good money, as much as $1500 a week, however, by 1925, they realized that vaudeville was dying as an art form. They started an act in 1921 called "Baby June and Her Farmboys" in which Gypsy's little sister was the star. When her sister, June, proved more talented than Gypsy, her mother took both children and started a career with them in vaudeville, while divorcing her husband. Her mother, Rose, was determined to leave Seattle. Born Rose Louise Hovick in Seattle, Washington, her father was a mild-mannered businessman. She brought respectability to the stripping art form. She wrote 3 books, including her autobiography, "Gypsy" which became a best seller. Performed in 12 movies, and had her own television show "The Gypsy Rose Lee Show" in 1958. In the 1960s, she played a number of cameo appearances on television and movies.Īctress and Burlesque Stripper.
