Lukki

NYC

Lucky, the burlesque legend of stage and screen, was an enigmatic figure whose legendary status has been relegated to a historical footnote. Through detailed archival research, Lucky has been resurrected out of the ashes of the Great Fire of Chicago and placed back on center stage where she belongs. Modernized for a cultured, twenty-first century audience, Lucky has become a regular fixture at nighclubs and burlesque performances throughout New York City.

Lukki
Chicago

Lukki, the great burlesque legend of stage and screen, began her illustrious career at Texas Guinan's 300 Club at the tender age of 18. She became a regular fixture in speakeasies and clubs around the globe including, in New York City, Club Intime, Club Argonaut, and the Century Club, and, in Chicago, the Paramount Club, the Copacabana (with the Wally Wanger Girls), and at Club De Lisa (with Sun Ra). Lukki also appeared on Broadway in Padlcoks of 1927 and toured throughout the United States as a principal fan dancer in Too Hot For Paris (which, incidentally, turned out to be apropos as the show was banned in France!) Lukki performed at the Chicago World's Fair as Sally Rand's backup dancer and also as a hoochie koochie dancer in the Tunisian Village. Gracing the silver screen with her angelic presence, Lukki appeared in a number of Hollywood blockbusters including "I Am Suzanne" and "Boys and Girls Together". Lukki also penned a number of important exposes and articles about her glamorous career, the collection of which - along with new commentary and never-before-seen photographs -is currently in press with a major New York publisher and is entitled "Lukki! The Great Fire of Chicago: A Biography." She currently teaches burlesque workshops at the Savoy Home for Assisted Living in Brooklyn, New York.
