    by Ted Schwarz (Author)

    This is the story of the iconic Texan figure name Juanita Slusher, a.k.a Candy Barr. She was once a notorious burlesque dancer known for her athletic choreography and live music accompaniment, commanding as much as $2,000 a week in 1950s Vegas. But growing up as Juanita, her troubled life began when her sister sold her virginity for a dollar. She became a runaway and then was victimized by a Dallas ritual known as the capture, enslaving her in prostitution. Candy's fame included high profile lovers and friends, which ultimately complicated her life with jail time, drug charges, and a role in the investigation of President Kennedy's assassination.
