Are you ready to meet Gypsy Rose Lee who was a famous Burlesque Stripper and went on to become so much more? Gypsy Rose Lee toured internationally, became a movie star, produced her own traveling show, authored two best-selling mysteries (both made into movies) as well as her highly celebrated autobiography which was adapted into the award-winning musical GYPSY. Gypsy wrote entertaining articles for The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Harper’s Bazaar, and other magazines. In 1965, Gypsy hosted a TV talk show called “The Gypsy Rose Lee Show.”

Gypsy will be portrayed by Molly Cornwall as part of the Women in History organization. Molly’s theatre work is extensive as an actor and a director. She and her husband entertain locally as "Mike & Molly".
