BURLESQUE A Final Tribute: Legends Recipes & Minsky’s Files (hardback)

ISBN 9781629337722 BURLESQUE A Final Tribute: Legends Recipes & Minsky’s Files By Jane Briggeman  7x10 size.   In 2004, Patricia Elliott Minsky sent me multiple packages of materials that came from the files of her late husband Harold Minsky. The files were primarily from the 1960s into the early 1980s, with a few from even earlier years thrown in. After Harold died on Christmas Day in 1977, Pat carried on the Minsky tradition and produced a few shows herself. With so many articles, letters, lists, reviews, and more, the Minsky section is meant to take you back in time to relive the burlesque experience through the eyes of Harold Minsky. This book also contains a tribute to Jennie Lee and “Exotic World,” and a chapter on Sintana; a request from her family and friends. Lastly, the recipe section in this book largely comes straight from the burlesque legends themselves. There are over 500 photos throughout the book; I hope you enjoy it… For additional burlesque history please check o
