 Biographical Note

Ann Corio (1909-1999) was an American actress and burlesque performer who also produced her own original show "This Was Burlesque." At the age of 15, Corio began her career in burlesque performing in Minksy’s Burlesk in New York, and then at Boston’s Old Howard Theatre. When the burlesque houses closed down in the 1940s, Corio moved to Los Angeles and had a short career appearing in a handful of “B” movies. In 1961, with Michael Iannucci, Corio wrote and produced the stage show “This Was Burlesque,” which later appeared on Broadway and toured the United States in different iterations for over 30 years. Corio co-authored a book version of “This Was Burlesque” about the history of burlesque in 1968. She also collaborated with musician Sonny Lester on two albums “How to Strip for Your Husband.”

As of 2019, Dr. Charles H. McCaghy is a professor emeritus of the Department of Sociology at Bowling Green State University, where he specialized in criminology and the study of deviance. The materials in the Charles H. McCaghy Collection on Ann Corio come from Dr. McCaghy's personal collections.
