Rand, Sally

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.02 sec.

Rand, Sally (Helen Gould Beck) (1904–1979)

US exotic dancer. During the 1930s she worked as a dancer in Chicago and developed her trademark nude dance routine to Chopin and Debussy, which featured the coy use of huge ostrich fans. Playing a role in the 1965 burlesque revival on Broadway, she continued to dance until 1978.

Born in Hickory County, Missouri, USA, Rand joined the circus as an acrobat as a teenager. She later moved to Hollywood where she played supporting roles in a number of silent films.

Her appearances at the 1933 Chicago Exposition and at later fairs and expositions across the country made her a popular favourite.
