Early life and career

June Havoc's show business career began in her early childhood as "Baby June."^[2] Her older sister, Rose Louise Hovick, is best known as Gypsy Rose Lee, but was known as Louise to her family. Their mother, Rose Thompson Hovick, had married John Hovick, a newspaper ad man, at the age of fifteen, and was the classic example of a smothering stage mother, though more horrid details were reportedly whitewashed in Gypsy's memoirs.^{[citation needed]} Gypsy Rose Lee (also known as Rose Louise Hovick and Louise Hovick) (February 9, 1911 or 1914 – April 26, 1970) was an American actress and burlesque entertainer, whose 1957 memoir, which included a scathing portrait of her domineering mother, was made into the stage musical and film Gypsy. ... Notorious as the ultimate stage mother, Rose Thompson Hovick, was the mother of two famous performing daughters: the inimitable burlesque artist Gypsy Rose Lee and the actress June Havoc. ...

Following their parents' divorce, the two sisters earned the family's money by appearing in vaudeville, where June's talent shone while Louise stood in the background. June, at the age of 13 in 1929, planned to elope with Bobby Reed, a boy in the act. Rose had Bobby arrested and he was met at the police station by Rose, carrying a hidden gun. She pulled the trigger, but the safety was on and Bobby was freed. June left the act and married Bobby. Apparently, he fathered her only child, April Reed (born circa April 1930). Louise gravitated to burlesque, taking the name Gypsy Rose Lee. Photograph of Sally Rand, 1934. ...

June and Gypsy continued to get demands for money from their mother, who had opened a lesbian boardinghouse in a ten-room apartment on West End Avenue, in New York City, the property rented for her by Gypsy, and a farm in Highland Mills, New York. Rose shot and killed one of her guests (who, according to Erik Preminger, Gypsy's son, was Rose's lover who had made a pass at Gypsy). The incident was explained away as a suicide and Rose was not prosecuted.^{[citation needed]} Nickname: Location in the state of New York Coordinates: Country United States State New York Boroughs The Bronx Brooklyn Manhattan Queens Staten Island Settled 1625 Government  - Mayor Michael Bloomberg (R) Area  - City  468. ...

Rose died in 1954 of colon cancer. The sisters felt free to write about her without risking a lawsuit. Gypsy's memoirs, titled Gypsy, were published in 1957, and were taken as inspirational material for the Jule Styne, Stephen Sondheim and Arthur Laurents musical Gypsy: A Musical Fable. June did not like the way she was portrayed in the piece, but was eventually persuaded not to oppose it, for her sister's sake. The play and the subsequent movie deal assured Gypsy a steady income.
