Trivia
 Mother Rose died of colon cancer in 1954. With their mother gone, the sisters decided they could write about their lives without risking a lawsuit. Lee`s memoirs, entitled "Gypsy", were published in 1957, and later evolved into the smash Broadway musical starring the indomitable Ethel Merman as Mama Rose. June wrote "Early Havoc" in 1959, followed by "More Havoc" in 1980. Was nominated for Broadway`s 1964 Tony Award as Best Director (Dramatic) for "Marathon `33."
"Baby" June Havoc was very unhappy over the content of her sister`s musical memoir "Gypsy," which became a monstrous hit on Broadway in the 50s. The estrangement between the two lasted over a decade and only ended when Gypsy told June she was dying of cancer and wanted to make amends.
She once danced in a marathon that lasted four months, with her and her partner winning second place and splitting the $100 prize after 3,000 hours of dancing.
