stripper

In fact, you made your Broadway debut in “Gypsy,” as a stripper, Electra, and there was a lot to that name, wasn’t there?

A woman working as a stripper in New York falls in love with the son of a Russian billionaire.

In “The Best Man,” she plays a stripper named Candy, and she and Perrineau share one of the film’s most memorable scenes as Candy treats Perrineau’s henpecked youth counselor, Julian “Murch” Murchison, to a spirited lap dance during the bachelor party.

In the case of the freewheeling “Anora,” written and directed by Sean Baker, who with movies like “The Florida Project” and “Tangerine” has shown an acute understanding of what it means to be down and out, our Cinderella happens to be a stripper living in Brooklyn and her Prince Charming is the privileged son of a Russian oligarch, a young man possessing wealth and expert knowledge as to where to score the best ketamine in Las Vegas.

The film tells the story of a 23-year-old woman who is working as a stripper in New York when she meets the son of a wealthy Russian oligarch.
