- Summary
- "Her name was Sally Rand. Until now, there has not been a biography of Sally Rand. But you can draw a line from her to Lana Turner, Marilyn Monroe, Raquel Welch, Ann-Margaret, Madonna, and Lady Gaga. She broke the mold in 1933 by proclaiming the female body as something beautiful and taking it out of the strip club with her ethereal fan dance. She was a poor girl from the Ozarks who ran away with a carnival, then joined the circus, and finally made it to Hollywood, where Cecil B. DeMille set her on the road to fame in silent movies. When the talkies came, her career collapsed and she ended up in Chicago, broke and sleeping in alleys. Two ostrich feathers in a secondhand store rescued her from obscurity." -- dust jacket
