             A romantic vision of pinup beauty:  
              the legendary Lorelei Lee (Marguerite French).   | 
         
       
      She was young, beautiful and vivacious. She was one of 
        the most desirable, recognizable pinup queens in the country during the 
        late 1950’s. She appeared on dozens of magazine covers, calendars, 
        and photo spreads, her figure appeared in every man's dreams... until 
        one day she dropped out of sight, leaving behind a legion of fans and 
        a tantalizing mystery…  
         
      Who in the Hell is the Real, Live 
        Lorelei Lee? 
       Ronnie Marshall, a struggling writer and dealer of girlie 
        books and burlesque memorabilia, is about to find out. While sifting through 
        boxes of old photographs from legendary photographer Burgess Link, a stash 
        of previously unknown photographs of the mysterious Lorelei Lee are uncovered. 
        When confronted, Burgess confesses to one of the best-kept secrets of 
        the pinup era: Lorelei was his one true love, his mistress, unbeknownst 
        to his wife, her friends, and the world at large. 
       Now an old woman, mad, damaged, watching her life play 
        out before her in a bizarre vaudeville circus existing solely in her mind’s 
        eye, the real Lorelei Lee sits alone in an asylum on Long Island, nursing 
        her wounds, pining for her lost love and her lost life, while Burgess, 
        wracked with guilt over her illness, and still not understanding what 
        drove them apart years ago, visits once a year, on the anniversary of 
        her disappearance, hoping that she will one day finally reveal where and 
        why she left him in the middle of the night all those years ago…  |
