3I have everything I had twenty years ago--except now it's all lower.
#Fact

2Her father was of Norwegian descent. Her mother was of British Isles and German ancestry.
3Portrayed by Natalie Wood in Gypsy (1962) and even appeared on set to give Wood advice on how to perform the stripper dance routines. In real life Wood was actually eight inches shorter than the real Gypsy Rose Lee.
4Sister-in-law of William Spier.
5In Gypsy (1962), Rosalind Russell portrayed Gypsy Rose Lee's mother. In The Trouble with Angels (1966), Russell appeared with Lee.
6Parents: John Hovick and Rose Thompson Hovick.
7Her mother Rose died from colon cancer in 1954.
8Like her mother, Lee was married three times.
9The walls of her Los Angeles home were adorned with pictures by Joan Miró, Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Max Ernst, and Dorothea Tanning, all of which were reportedly gifts to her by the artists themselves.
10Although she was a "stripper," she never actually got undressed.
11She had many pets, including cats, turtles, guinea pigs, and Chinese crested dogs.
12When she was diagnosed with cancer in 1969, she called it "a present from mother".
13At one of her weddings, Gypsy had a chimpanzee as a ring bearer.
14Aunt of April Kent.
15In the 1940s, Gypsy Rose Lee was in love with the theatrical impresario Michael Todd, who produced two Broadway shows starring Lee ("Star and Garter" and "The Naked Genius"). She married Alexander Kirkland in 1942 in an attempt to make the already-married Todd jealous. They divorced in 1944. While married to Kirkland, she had a brief fling with Otto Preminger. The fruit of their affair was a boy named Erik Lee, who has been known successively as Erik Kirkland, Erik de Diego, and Erik Lee Preminger.
16Mother of Erik Lee Preminger.
17Gypsy Rose started dancing and stripping at burlesque houses at the age of 15 with the assistance of fellow dancer "Tessie The Tassel Twirler." She retired from burlesque 8 years later to appear in films but documented her rise to fame and adventurous relationship with her mother in the autobiographical book, "Gypsy."
18Older sister of June Havoc.
