[edit] Stardust Girl
Jan Welles was a stunning, velvety-voiced crooner who drew raves from Walter Winchell and Cole Porter. Perched on the brink of real stardom, she was then faced with the impossible choice of denying her lesbianism or abandoning the career she had worked a lifetime to achieve.
Riding a natural singing voice out of a poverty-stricken childhood, Jan Welles was perched on the brink of stardom when she was faced with an impossible choice: deny her lesbianism or abandon the career she had worked a lifetime to achieve. In this candid and intriguing memoir, this velvety-voiced singer tells not only of her career drawing raves from Cole Porter and Walter Winchell, but of her life as the first female bullfighter in Mexico, excelling at the sport and eventually incorporating it into her singing act. But when stardom meant making a deal with the Mafia, and giving them control not only over her career but over her life, Jan walked away from the stage forever. Ranging from the dazzling lights of Broadway to dusty bullfighting rings in the Dominican Republic, from flings with Lana Turner and Paulette Goddard, to an attempted rape by Broadway impresario Billy Rose, Jan Welles's tale is a saucy story of achievement, danger and the ultimate triumph of being true to yourself.
