Guest is Candy Barr, the famous stripper who was a friend of Lee Harvey Oswald's assassin Jack Ruby, was born Juanita Dale Slusher on July 6, 1935 in Edna, Texas. She began her stripping career in her native Texas, becoming famous in the clubs of Dallas (particularly after a drug bust) before playing lucrative venues in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and New Orleans in the late 1950s. She reportedly made $2,000 a week (approximately $15,500 in 2012 dollars). At the opening, host Tom Snyder states that as a 19 year old teanager he knew of Candy Barr when he was first working for radio station WRIT in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and he has been waiting 22 years to finally meet her in person. The early years of Candy Barr is discussed including what it was like growing up on a rural farm, death of her mother when nine years of age, being sexually molested numerous times by the same adult when only five years of age and why she never told anyone about it, running away from home at 12 years of age, first experiences as an exotic dancer, marriage to a robber at the age of 14 and circumstances why she married at that young age, being forced to work as a stripper and prostitute at age 16, working for Barney Weinstein at The Theater Lounge, making the short sex film in 1951 called "Smart Alec," and not done of her own free will. Candy Barr admits that all of the sensational publicity surrounding her was least important. Love to dance, mostly. Tom Snyder discusses with Barr her 15 year conviction on charges of marijuana possession...admitting that presiding Judge Brown took pictures of her in the courtroom. She remembers the police barging in to her apartment and she giving them a small amount of weed...she and her boyfriend also in the apartment arrested. NOTE: At this point in the interview the 1/4" reel to reel tape expires, missing approximately 25 more minutes of discussion along with commercials.
