Blaze Starr

An icon of the burlesque industry BLAZE STARR did more than merely take her clothes off during the heyday of burlesque. With an act that included panthers and a couch that burst into flames, Blaze was a nation-wide sensation. Known as much for her voluptuous figure as for her affairs with Earl Long and John F. Kennedy, Blaze remains a true original and one of the last living legends of burlesque.
