NEW WORLD ENCYCLOPEDIA
"Gypsy Rose Lee (also known as Rose Louise Hovick and Louise Hovick) (February 9, 1911 – April 26, 1970) was an American actress, burlesque entertainer, and writer, whose 1957 memoir, which included a scathing portrait of her domineering mother, was made into the stage musical and film, Gypsy. She was a supporter of the Popular front movement in the Spanish Civil War and raised money for charity to alleviate the suffering of children during the conflict which preceded World War II . In 1969, she performed for American troops in Vietnam . Despite her own difficult childhood, and her relationship with her mother, her spirit matured into a generous, humane, and warm-hearted woman. She did what she had to do to climb up the show-business ladder, and is credited in her early days with making the strip-tease into a sophisticated act. Her talent was not only interpreting others' work; she wrote successful novels and plays as well as her famous autobiography.'
