Add to basket"It's a riotous, raucous story, and Wightman is particularly adept at bringing the people around her to life . . . An often exhilarating ride." - Kirkus Reviews
How did a debutante from Lake Forest, Illinois, end up in Boston's notorious "Combat Zone" and become its most famous stripper? What led her to convert to Islam and get engaged to Cat Stevens? And how did she end up traveling and performing with Andy Kaufman and hosting a radio show for the sexually bewildered opposite Dr. Ruth?
In 1977, an eighteen-year-old Lucy Johnson stripped out of her bell-bottoms and Birkenstocks and was crowned the feature attraction at the Naked i Cabaret. Local and national media took note of her tony background and, for the next eleven years, she strutted her way into Beantown history as the "Socialite Stripper."
In Princess Cheyenne, Lucy Wightman recounts her wild, Zeligesque life both in and out of the Naked i. Smart and uproarious, this is the untold story of a legendary performer whose stage name is synonymous with "The Zone," Boston's most mythical district, and a fount of nostalgia and wonder to this day.
