Biographical/historical note:

Sally Rand became famous for her "fan dance" and her "bubble dance" (using balloons) that she performed at the Century of Progress International Exposition (1933-1934 Chicago world's fair) and continued to showcase as a burlesque dancer in later years. She was the daughter of Anita Grove (later known as Anita Kisling) and Colonel William Beck, a veteran of the Spanish-American war. She was born Helen Harriet Gould Beck on April 3, 1904, in Hickory County, Missouri, in the village of Elkton. She showed an early interest in show business. At the age of thirteen, she ran away to join a carnival that brought her to Kansas City, where she danced as a chorus girl in vaudeville performances at the Empress Theatre.

 

Rand eventually relocated to Hollywood, but on the way she served briefly as an acrobat in the Ringling Brothers Circus and appeared in a production of Rain opposite Humphrey Bogart. Rand called herself "Billy Beck" by the time she reached Hollywood and made the rounds of the studios. Cecil B. DeMille found a place for "Billy Beck" in his stock company and cast her in many silent films in the 1920s. Sally credits DeMille for giving her the stage name, "Sally Rand," which first appeared in the movie credits of DeMille's King of Kings in which Sally was cast as a slave girl to Mary Magdalene. Sally Rand became a popular silent film actor and was named a WAMPUS Baby Star in 1927.

 

When sound motion pictures began to displace silent films, Rand left Hollywood to dance in front of live audiences. She studied solo ballet and developed her own interpretative solo dance act. Initially coming to Chicago in a show called "Sweethearts on Parade" in 1932; Rand soon accepted a position at the Paramount Club. It was at the Paramount Club that she first performed the "Fan Dance," using two large ostrich feather fans purchased at a second-hand shop. When the Chicago world's fair opened in 1933, the administration of the fair had given permission for a girlie show to operate on the midway, to be named the "Streets of Paris." When her application for a place in the show was rejected, Rand devised a plan to win a spot in the revue. Rand hired a boat to bring her to the fairgrounds astride a white horse, wearing only a long blonde wig. Rand came riding down the "Streets of Paris" as "Lady Godiva." With this unauthorized stunt, she was able to garner enough press and publicity to guarantee her a spot in the fair. She was billed as the inventor of the "Fan Dance" and became one of the fair's star attractions. When the fair reopened in 1934, Rand debuted a new routine using a large rubber balloon or bubble, which became known as the "Bubble Dance."

 

After the Chicago world's fair, Rand performed at the California Pacific Exposition held in San Diego in 1935-1936. Rand also opened a nude show at the 1936 Frontier Exposition in Fort Worth, Texas. In 1939, she hosted the "Sally Rand Nude Ranch" at the Golden Gate Exposition in San Francisco. The show was housed at the Music Box and featured women wearing only cowboy hats, gun belts, loosely tied scarves around their necks, and boots. Rand also frequently made appearances at state and local fairs.

 

Over the years, Rand directed her own "Star Studded Revue" for Royal American Shows. She worked in every aspect of the show, including building her own scenery, designing costumes, supervising light cues, writing lyrics, and working for booking and publicity. Rand often found time to fill speaking appointments at luncheon clubs or before dinners of service clubs and fraternal organizations. She also visited service hospitals and gave radio interviews. She had her own public television program. In 1954, while appearing at the Silver Slipper in Las Vegas, she conducted a weekly television program for KLAS-TV Las Vegas. It was an informal talk show where Rand would interview celebrities, impart fashion hints, discuss beauty and health problems, read poetry, and conduct her own commercials. She also conducted a show for KPRC-TV in Houston, Texas.

 

Rand traveled the United Sates, successfully fulfilling dancing contracts for many years. From May 1954 to January 1955, Rand appeared at the Last Frontier Hotel in Las Vegas for a record-breaking 32-week engagement. She was 51 years old.

 

Rand was married three times. Her first marriage was in 1942 to James "Turk" Greenough, a cowboy rodeo star. Her second and third husbands were Harry Finkelstein, a businessman and manager, and Fred Lalla, a plaster contractor. All three marriages ended in divorce. In 1948, Rand adopted Sean Orion Rand. Sally Rand died on August 31, 1979, in Glendora, California. She was survived by her son and two grandchildren.
