Behind the Burly Q

This documentary film reveals the story of burlesque by telling the intimate and surprising stories from its golden age through the women (and men) who lived it. The film features dozens of interviews with performers, musicians and authors including:

actor Alan Alda, whose father Robert Alda was a handsome “tit singer” and a straight man
Nat Bodian, journalist who wrote and saw burlesque at the Empire in Newark in the 1930s
Lorraine Lee, who used to dance for Bonnie and Clyde and Pretty Boy Floyd and “earned a quarter”
April March, First Lady of Burlesque, who started as a cigarette girl in Oklahoma and became a headliner at clubs and theaters worldwide and a burlesque legend
Tempest Storm, who still performs today and claims to have been lovers with Elvis Presley and John F. Kennedy
the notorious Blaze Starr, who escaped a life of poverty to rise to the heights of fame, and became involved with Earl Long
Kitty West, aka Evangelina the Oyster Girl, the Bourbon Street star, who entertained busloads of tourists as she “came out of her oyster”
Taffy O’Neill, who performed at night, and spent the days taking her young son, stricken with polio, to treatment
Mike Iannucci, star stripper Ann Corio’s husband and producer of “This Was Burlesque”
Rachel Schteir who wrote the book Striptease, a comprehensive history of the art of stripteasing
and Janet Davis, author of the extensively researched book on Tiny Kline, whom Walt Disney discovered and made the first Tinker Bell when she was in her 60s.
