Summary
It's the Gay '90s and headliner Lillian Russell is unstoppable! Called "The English Ballad Singer," her beauty, charm and unforgettable voice packed playhouses everywhere. Offstage, she was equally amazing with an extravagant lifestyle that included four husbands, a jewel-studded bicycle and a wardrobe filled with furs, jewels, gowns and diamond-decorated corsets.
