April March first lady of Burlesque

In 1961, April March was given the title “The First Lady of Burlesque”. When an agent pointed out March’s striking resemblance to then First Lady of the United States, Jacqueline Kennedy,[1][4] the agent jokingly said that March’s new moniker could be “The First Lady of Burlesque”. March’s ladylike demeanor on stage also played a part in the title and she began using it.
