Bump day to get you out of the daily grind....
Blaze Starr (born Fannie Belle Fleming, January 1, 1932) is an American former stripper and burlesque star. Her vivacious presence, striking red hair, voluptuous figure and inventive use of stage props earned her the nickname "The Hottest Blaze in Burlesque".
Her theatrical flourishes and unique gimmicks that she used in her stage show went beyond established burlesque routines like the fan dance or the balloon dance.
One of her most famous props was a couch that she rigged to smolder and appear to burst into flames as she sat on it and undressed.
She was also known for her affair with Louisiana governor Earl Long. The affair started in the 1950s and lasted until his death in 1960. The 1989 movie, Blaze, recounts the story of their relationship. The movie is an adaptation from Starr's 1974 memoir Blaze Starr: My Life as Told to Huey Perry. Lolita Davidovich portrays Starr in the movie, with Paul Newman playing Governor Long. Starr herself appears in a cameo role.
