Description
The Infamous Cherry Sisters: A Forty-Year Career in Vaudeville. Born into poverty on an Iowa farm, the five sisters defied convention to pursue their passion for performing. Their unique act, often described as "so bad it was good," sparked riots and changed attitudes over four decades of touring the US vaudeville circuit. Despite facing sexism and adversity, the Cherry Sisters remained proud, fearless, and fiercely independent. Their performances, which included rotten fruit, festering meat, and even dead cats, were met with a mix of shock and fascination. Yet, it was their unwavering commitment to their craft that earned them a place in history. This book tells the story of their remarkable journey, from humble beginnings to international acclaim. Through their struggles and triumphs, the Cherry Sisters left an indelible mark on American entertainment. Their legacy continues to captivate audiences today, offering a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era of vaudeville and the women who dared to challenge the status quo.
