The beautiful Ann Corio appeared in a less than a handful of poverty
row exotic films, but her real stardom was on the stage, over a period
of twenty years. She was a hugely popular striptease artist, best known
for her work at Minsky's Burlesk Theater in New York. In 1940, she was
making around $1,000 a week for her work, plus a contractual 25% intake
of house receipts. Corio suggested once that the art of the striptease
should be rechristened "deciduous kinesthetics."
