Despite these hurdles, Gypsy climbed to the peak of every career she tackled: she triumphed as an actress, novelist, playwright, artist, political activist, and, ultimately, a star. Appendices cover Gypsy's will and estate, the original production and Broadway revivals of her play Gypsy, and complete filmographies and discographies. The book contains many rare and never-before-published photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47602655232151,"sku":"9780786438266","price":4100.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780786438266.webp?v=1775012264","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/lady-of-burlesque-the-career-of-gypsy-rose-lee-9780786438266","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
