Dick began working in burlesque in the late 1930s. The couple often worked together for Harold Minsky; they had been married for 35 years when Dick died. For nearly 30 years Lorraine moved these photographs around with her after his death, so you know they meant a great deal to her. This is a simple book with very few words and 287 photographs; I hope you enjoy it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFor more photographs and burlesque history check out my other books:\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e BURLESQUE: a Living History; BURLESQUE: Legendary Stars of the Stage 2\u003csup data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003end\u003c\/sup\u003e Edition; BURLESQUE: A Collection of Comedy Blackouts; and BURLESQUE A Final Tribute: Legends Recipes \u0026amp; Minsky’s Files. \u003c\/em\u003eThe first two books listed won Independent Publishing Awards; and most of the books contain information regarding some of the performers whose photographs are shared in this book.
