Grab a nosh and sit back to enjoy the film The Outrageous Sophie Tucker.
I Am Sophie Tucker
Part fairy tale, part crime novel, part rags to riches Hollywood myth, I Am Sophie Tucker tells the outrageous story of one of showbiz’s biggest personalities. From 1906 through the beginning of television, Sophie Tucker and her bawdy, brash, and risqué songs paved the way for performers such as West, Monroe, Midler, Cher, Madonna, and Gaga.
After eight years spent reading hundreds of Tucker’s personal scrapbooks, visiting fourteen archives, and interviewing dozens of family, friends, and fellow icons of stage and screen, this film chronicles the amazing life and career of this remarkable woman who started life as a poor Jewish immigrant and eventually become known as The Last of the Red Hot Mamas.
