American performer, born Louise Hovick, who raised stripping to a popular and semi-respectable art form; her life story later became the basis of the hit musical Gypsy. Terrific vintage glossy 8 x 10 photo of the beloved ecdysiast in an elaborate showgirl costume, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, “Greetings Boys, Gypsy Rose Lee.” In fine condition, with a few minor dings and surface impressions. R&R COA.
