Happy Birthday, Gypsy Rose Lee!
Musique - "Put the Blame on Mame" by Gypsy Rose Lee
Today is Gypsy Rose Lee's would-be 102nd birthday! Although both IMDb and Wikipedia both list January 9, 1911 as her birthday, when I read Gypsy's biography, there was an actual copy of her birth certificate that said January 8, 1911, so I choose to go with that date. Here she is doing her "The Psychology of a Stripteaser" routine in Stage Door Canteen:

Hi,
On my mother behalf, thank you for her birthday greeting.
Birth certificates were often altered by her mother. My mother always claimed January 9th, 1914; although logic would support 1911.

Wow! Thank you so much! I'll change my calendar to the 9th. And maybe next year I'll do a happy 100th birthday post for her! ;)
