Untitled[edit]

The article is too small to include this, but will place it here for possible later use. November 1, 1938, Sally went on trial in Hollywood for assaulting an audience member (and his date) who had snapped her photo during a bubble dance performance. One newspaper article is here: http://www.birchy.com/Trees/mediaviewer.php?mid=M963 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.183.107.139 (talk) 00:55, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The link above is broken as is the link to report the "broken link". (Paleocon44 (talk) 07:05, 9 March 2011 (UTC))[reply]

The sentence referencing Blaze Starr is actually a fragment. The intent was unclear - did she later appear with Blaze Starr? Did Blaze Starr later appear at the Mitchell Brothers theater?DavisGL (talk) 05:55, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

To amuse the fans left alive: My mother, in the late/early 30's/40's took my older brother to see her perform in Seattle, Wa. (most probably, at the Moore Theater). About halfway through the performance Ron, about 5-6 years old), suddenly exclaimed, as only a child that age can: LOUDLY, "Mommy!! That lady doesn't have any clothes on!!!".

This, of course, 'brought the House down' as well as mortifying my mother who was forced to sit there under the glare of Ms. Rand who was NOT amused. Not nearly as much as the audience, from whom an occasional snicker could be heard through the rest of the performance. My mother said that she didn't believe that Ms. Rand ever appeared again in Seattle. (Paleocon44 (talk) 07:05, 9 March 2011 (UTC))[reply]

Sammy Davis, Jr.[edit]

I revised the section on "death" because at least one website misread the previous phrasing to mean that Sammy Davis, Jr., was Rand's adopted son. Vicki Rosenzweig (talk) 02:04, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
