And a whale
Larry MaslonHOST
Well, that, of course, was the theme song of Gypsy Rose Lee.
Larry MaslonHOST
Certainly in the musical Gypsy, she transitions from a third-rate vaudeville act into a first-rate burlesque act.
Larry MaslonHOST
Anybody know who sang that? Yes, a bunch of hands went up.
Larry MaslonHOST
Carol Burnett had an album of Carol Burnett sings in the early 1960s.
Mike MillanGUEST
Yeah.
Mike MillanGUEST
I'm just sitting back and listening to Mylinda talk about Gypsy.
ShoshanaHOST
And as you should.
Mike MillanGUEST
Those stories sound amazing.
ShoshanaHOST
How long have you been a part of this production? I
Mylinda HullGUEST
have been with it since last year.
Mylinda HullGUEST
I had just closed Gypsy, a little teeny show called Gypsy.
Mylinda HullGUEST

Rick RodgersHOST
[upbeat music] I'm Rick Rodgers, veteran cookbook author and content creator, and this is Uncovered.
Rick RodgersHOST
So who was that influencer? Julia Child, Galloping Gourmet, James Beard? Well, they all had some influence on me, but the real star was Gypsy Rose Lee.
Rick RodgersHOST
Now, she's been dead for fifty-six years, but her name still resonates mainly to showbiz buffs who remember the musical about her, Gypsy.
Rick RodgersHOST
Now, in our current sexually charged era, strippers are considered kinda quaint.
Rick RodgersHOST
I mean, you might see an old movie where there's, there's a few bumps and grinds, but that's about it.
Rick RodgersHOST
But strippers were a lightning rod for moralist groups.
Rick RodgersHOST
In fact, I know when I was researching this, I was surprised to see that burlesque was outlawed as far back as nineteen thirty-seven in New York by Mayor La Guardia, and then all of the burlesque houses moved over to New Jersey, where the later part of our story takes place.
Rick RodgersHOST
So this meant that Gypsy and her curvy colleagues had to find other ways to pay the rent.
