History Speaks: "Gypsy & June: Causing Havoc in the Great Depression and Beyond" @ Washington State History Museum | Tacoma | Washington | United States

Gwen Whiting will provide insight into the life of Gypsy Rose Lee and her sister June Havoc who were made immortal in the Broadway play and subsequent movie Gypsy. Their real lives, however, were far more colorful than anything Hollywood could dream up. Take a backstage peek into history from the Great Depression to the Red Scare and learn more about mayhem, mystery, and possibly murder.
