Saratoga Jewish Community Arts and Temple Sinai, with the generous grant support of the Jewish Federation of Northeastern NY, invite you to a virtual panel discussion of the documentary The Outrageous Sophie Tucker, directed by William Gazecki, on May 2 at 7 PM.
Gazecki lays out the life of this icon, Sophie Tucker, with commentary by Barbara Walters, Tony Bennett, Carol Channing, Michael Feinstein, Shecky Green, and others. While known as funny and racy, she insisted throughout her life, “I’ve never sung a single song in my whole life on purpose to shock anyone. My ‘hot numbers’ are all, if you will notice, written about something that is real in the lives of millions of people.”
The Zoom discussion of The Outrageous Sophie Tucker will be on May 2 at 7 PM and the film can be viewed on You-Tube. Registration is required for Zoom access by emailing sjca.sjcf@gmail.com.
