[edit] Tagged.
I've tagged this article for cleanup, because it seems to contain a very roundabout recounting of information that's far from useful and even farther from clear. Someone who knows more about Gypsy Rose Lee, or even just someone who can donate the time and effort, would be a great help in smoothing out this article's rougher edges.
[edit] Cuppa Rosie anyone?
Is this the Rosie Lee who gave rise to the rhyming slang expression for tea? If so, I think it deserves a mention - she is famous in the UK even though nobody knows who she was. If not, the rhyming slang article needs editing.
[edit] Gypsy Rose Lee's age?
The article says:
"Gypsy Rose Lee (also known as Rose Louise Hovick and Louise Hovick) (February 9, 1914 - April 26, 1970)" and "In 1970, she died in Los Angeles, California, at the age of 59"
Either she is born in 1914 and died at the age of 56 or she is born in 1911. I thought I knew the answer but I can see that people do not agree on whether she is born in 1911 or 1914.
