My Take
Sophie Tucker fascinates me as a true self-made legend. A Jewish immigrant girl born in Tulchyn, Ukraine, she clawed her way to becoming one of America's most beloved entertainers in the early twentieth century, dubbed the Last of the Red-Hot Mamas. In an era with no recordings to lean on, she won crowds with sheer voice and nerve, belting risque songs with unapologetic swagger. Her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame feels well earned. I find her boldness genuinely inspiring; even across crackly old recordings, her formidable spirit still comes through loud and clear.
