In the 1960s, Nancy Powell became TAMMI TRUE, the burlesque headliner at Jack Ruby's Carousel Club. She lived a double life, PTA mom by day and stripper by night. Then Jack Ruby shot Lee Harvey Oswald and everything changed. From Catholic school to the juvenile court system, from a noisy club in Dallas to a quiet farm in the country, Nancy's life is wondrous and wayward, hilarious and heartfelt. Here it is, her world in her own words-in and out of the spotlight, and ready for an encore. Tammi True bares it all. "Using the glamorous backdrop of Dallas in 1963, Tammi True brings the truth about Jack Ruby and the JFK assassination to a whole new generation. It is a must read story!" - Katie Dunn, director, producer of True Tales: JFK. 1963. EXPOSED "Tammi True is the ultimate Texan burlesque queen with big hair and big attitude. Nobody can turn you on and make you laugh quite like Tammi." - Ginger Valentine, co-producer, director of Ruby Revue
