A legend of the genre to whom later life dealt a rather sad hand, Lili St. Cyr has been referenced in popular culture a number of times, proving that her ambiguous twilight hasn’t dampened her appeal as burlesque enjoys a newfound popularity. In truth, smokin’ hot Lili was known as one of the biggest names in the business back in the ’50s, and rightly so. After stripping became something that age – and gravity – prevented her from continuing, she set up a popular underwear company catering for the stripping industry and domestic markets alike. However, as mentioned, times turned tough, and Lili died a crazy old cat lady aged (somewhat inevitably) a ripe 80 years old.
