Jazz singer and comedian Sophie Tucker, the self-proclaimed “Last of the Red Hot Mamas,” was one of the best-known entertainers of the 20th century. She was also a Jewish immigrant and a runaway mother before she became a superstar. This gripping documentary follows her 60-year career from vaudeville to Broadway, and to radio, movies and television.

A brief commentary on each film will precede its screening, and complimentary refreshments will be served after each screening.
