Specialists in tease, seduction, and old-time bits - whether expertly twirling tassels, or performing in comedic skits, these sexy and funny stage professionals took cues from their vaudeville and variety show predecessors. Remembering the time when a burlesque show was a theatrical production complete with strip tease, chorus lines, live music, and humorous skits, "Burlesque: Legendary Stars of the Stage," captures the spirit of the genre with photographs, interviews, and histories.

The book is a tribute to the performers who shimmied and shook, or cut-up and clowned, for countless crowds, while striving to maintain a high level of artistry and professionalism. Author Jane Briggeman is the founder of "The Golden Days of Burlesque Historical Society," whose mission is to unite former stage performers and promote the story of their craft. Spurred by the deaths of some of burlesque's greatest names, the book captures the heart of this unique industry by highlighting the careers of selected artists and their contributions to the art form.
