From her biographer, Karen Abbot: If Lady Gaga and Dorothy Parker had a secret love child, it would’ve been Gypsy Rose Lee. The woman knew how to make a dramatic entrance. On opening nights at the Met she would arrive in a long black limousine and step out wearing a full-length cape made entirely of orchids.
She always had a witty quip for any occasion. When she was arrested during a raid at Minsky’sRepublic, she protested, “But officer, I wasn’t naked—I was covered by a blue spotlight!”...When she appeared on Johnny Carson’s show in the 1960s, the comedian announced, “Gypsy Rose Lee says she is going to take her clothes off.” To which Gypsy replied, “Why, Johnny, you know I’d never end a sentence with a preposition!”
Nice post. I love it. Waiting your new posts. Thank you...
