Metropolitan Room

PHOTO SUPPLIED BY ROSE BILLINGS Sinthea Starr is the woman for whom the word megastar was created. Joel Vig speaks to us about Sinthea and his Show Business Background. A veteran of far too many stage and screen classics to possibly list, she has, for over five decades, been a household name in homes from Manaus to Cooch Beher, Tokyo to Timbuktu. Born the child of semi-deposed Russian royalty, her early training was with a band of traveling Gypsy acrobats and musicians. It was in this troupe that she met the then unknown Yul Brynner, who was to become the first in a long line of rumored paramours including Mike Todd, Mike Wallace, Mike Douglas, Hank Williams, Andy Williams, Tennessee Williams, Aristotle Onassis, Nicky Hilton, Nicky Arnstein, Nicky Haskell, Walter Cronkite, Tallulah Bankhead, Elvis Presley, Warren Beatty, Sigfried and Roy, among others. Her autobiography, BORN A LEGEND, is now in its 137th printing, and her exercise video, SINTHEA SWEATS TO THE SOUNDS OF THE SEVENTIES, has gone triple platinum. Miss Starr will be introduced by theatre legend and two-time Tony-winner, Miss Tammy Grimes.? Miss Starr dedicates her performance to the memory of her great friend, the late Sir Noel Coward. $30.00 Cover + 2 Beverage Minimum?
