My Great Louise was a stripper and torch singer and great friends with Gypsy during the burlesque days. Mom lived with Aunt Louise for several years and she and Gypsy maintained their friendship through the years. Gypsy was a great and very funny lady.

I love the line from "Gypsy" when one of the "dancers" says, "What's wrong with strippin!"

A good illustration of "stripping," Gypsy Rose Lee style, is from 0.36 to 0.44, when she removes her gloves: the playful way she looks at Daly, then twirls the gloves around, then blows at them as she daintily drops them. Flirting and creating a warm feeling (a strip TEASER, as she says) as opposed to "being nasty". Nonetheless, John Daly seems as uncomfortable as a Calvinist preacher next to her. PS The first time I saw this video, I absolutely adored her. :-)

Part of the reason for the surprise that a "stripper" would be so loved is that Gypsy Rose Lee might be better described as a singer and dancer who took her clothes off (usually) down to a decent but minimal level before going off stage (as one site says, "rarely included totaly nudity"; apparently being topless is included in that category). In GRL's era, "stripping" would have been teasing, flirting, smiling, batting eyelashes. Today it would be provoking sexually by body movements and nudity.

I watched her morning talk show, Gypsy, on San Francisco’s KGO TV as often as I could. She had a great sense of humor; her show was wonderful. Her son was on it several times. I was shocked and saddened when she passed away at 59. What an entertainer!

Gypsy Rose Lee had as much charm and,charisma as anyone in history. Women liked her as much as men, as can be told from the applause when she appeared to sign her name. She was a class act, even as a stripper.

She was really a burlesque artist, pushing the line. They were not in the mainstream in her day. Her younger sister, June Havoc (1912-2010); was a talented actress in her own right. "Gentleman's Agreement" (1947), etc.

Shhh! I'm Watching Silent Films. June Havoc was “Baby June” if you ever saw the movie starring Rosalind Russell and Natalie Wood. Also, June grew up to happily marry another big Hollywood Star, Fred McMurray of Double indemnity as well as My Three Sons.

@Ramubay that's the one I saw, the 1962 movie musical with natalie wood. I didn't know bette midler remade ii. on a similar note, I didn't know the 1997 Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella movie with Brandy was as remake of the 1965 movie of the same name. I've yet to see the original one but the originals are usually better than the remakes. And I agree with he other comments I saw, about stripping and burlesque being more of a tease back then whereas these days it's nudity all around
