by Gypsy Rose Lee (Author), Erik Preminger (Afterword by)
The dazzling, no-holds-barred memoir that inspired a Broadway legend--Gypsy is a true American original, told by the woman who lived it with wit, grit, and a rhinestoned wink.
Before there was Mama Rose or Let Me Entertain You, there was Gypsy Rose Lee--a whip-smart, fearless, and gloriously complicated woman whose life on the road with her unstoppable stage mother and spotlight-stealing little sister became the stuff of showbiz legend. Now back in the spotlight thanks to the acclaimed Broadway revival starring Audra McDonald, Gypsy is Lee's funny, subversive, and poignant memoir of growing up in the ragtag world of 1920s vaudeville and emerging, against the odds, as a singular star of 1930s burlesque. Told in her unmistakable voice--wry, stylish, and heartbreakingly observant--Gypsy reveals a vanished world of stage mothers, train-jumping troupes, and smoke-filled nightclubs, where gin was homemade and ambition was everything. Alongside rare photos and memorabilia from her own scrapbooks and an afterword by her son Erik Lee Preminger, this unforgettable memoir captures the real woman behind the myth: sharp, resilient, and always in command of her story.Author Biography
