Preserving the legacy of the pioneers of burlesque has long been a passion of author Leslie Zemeckis. Beginning with her critically-acclaimed 2012 documentary combined with her extensive research which she has accumulated on the subject, Zemeckis has delved into the often misunderstood world of burlesque. In Behind the Burly Q: The Story of Burlesque in America ($24.95), she has documented the definitive oral history of burlesque as told by the original stars themselves in this, her first book.
Filmmaker Leslie Zemeckis is a veteran of stage and film.
