The Outrageous Sophie Tucker

Before Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Madonna, Bette Midler, Marilyn
Monroe, and Mae West, Sophie Tucker infatuated her audiences
with a bold, bawdy and brassy style unlike any other. Using more
than 400 of the recently rediscovered personal scrapbooks, “The
Last of the Red Hot Mamas,” authors Susan and Lloyd Ecker take you on
their 8-year journey retracing Tucker’s 60-year career in show business
from rags to riches. Sophie Tucker, an iconic superstar, ruled the worlds
of vaudeville, Broadway, radio, television, and Hollywood throughout the
20th Century.
