L is for Lili St. Cyr


Lili St. Cyr was another standout star of burlesque’s golden age in the 40s and 50s. She was known for the graceful class and creativity she brought to her acts as well as for her stunning beauty and statuesque figure. Her performances would tell a story and she would often base her characters on historical female icons. Some of her most memorable acts included the “Flying G” in which her g-string (attached by a fishing line) would fly off her body into the balcony at the end of her act while the lights dimmed. She was also well known for her bubble bath act in which she would simulate taking a bath onstage.
