    Thank you so much for this informative video about Lily Cat Christine! I have a signed photo of her on my wall that I found in an old box of an Italian ancestor that fought in the Korean War. I believe she danced for the soldiers before giving them these signed copies!

    Very interesting video! She was a pioneer and way ahead of her time. Madonna can’t hold a candle to her. LOL
