I saw Ms. Colt at the "Busy Bee". It was an interesting performance.

I was a graduate of Barneys school. Actually you had to win the amateur contest on Friday nights to get in. It did not hurt that the MC announced I was from Oklahoma. I did not know Candy, she was in prison then on what "they said was a drug entapment. The closing act was Cindy Embers- her husband Jack Cole booked us into the nicer clubs around the southwest. We were not required to sit with customers and hustle drinks. Shari was the next to last in the show an did have a heavenly body. She danced to 77 Sunset Strip. At this time Wally, her husband. was at the Colony Club. He had appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show.
I worked at the Colony briefly. Chris Colt and her 45s were the feature. A very petite lady and she did have 45s. Quite a sight. Abe and Barney ran their clubs with as much ’class’ as such a form of entertainment could have. As I said no forced sitting with the customers and I never heard gossip about them and the girls. And we did gossip. I had a beautiful body and was told Barney had said I was to be his next Candy Barr. I really did not like the buisness. Could not take it seriously- did the customers really believe we were doing anything but acting?
I wanted to marry have a child,white cttage with roses and all. I married a gambler and had a fantastic child. No cottage no roses.
I am remarried very happily and have my roses. Have to giggle when I think ayone took us seriously.
Jack Ruby--I was told to stay away from him and his club. It was all 2nd rate, I was very suprised to learn Shari and Wally worked for him. I coul go on and on with what I say is a mature woman approaching advanced age but my memories like most peoples are basicly just interesting to me.
