They were temptresses of tease and specialists in seduction - bawdy and beautiful burlesque performers. Expertly twirling their tassels, these sexy stage professionals took cues from their vaudeville and variety show predecessors. Remembering the time when a strip tease was part of a larger theatrical act complete with humour, live music, and skits, Burlesque: Legendary Stars of the Stage captures the spirit of this unique art form through photographs, interviews, and histories. Shimmying and shaking for countless crowds, burlesque performers strove to maintain a high level of artistry and professionalism in the face of change and controversy in the industry. Spurred by the deaths of some of burlesque's greatest names, this book highlights the careers of selected artists and their contributions to the art of burlesque.
