Description saved
Born in Edna, Texas, in 1935, the entertainer who became Candy Barr was perhaps the last great dancer in burlesque, a stripper who insisted on live, music and who at one time commanded $2,000 a week in 1950s Las Vegas. She had started life as a prematurely well-developed thirteen-year-old runaway ensnared into prostitution, for a time turning over 4,000 tricks a year before she was able to escape. A lover of Mickey Cohen's and friend to Jack Ruby, Barr's tumultuous life included a period of imprisonment on drug charges,killed one of her husbands, an appearance in a crude, 20-minute stag film, and unlikely role in the investigation into the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
