Also check with the Paley Library for TV footage.

I have another research question. I am involved with a project looking atthe
full history of female Jewish comedians. I am looking for
visuals...anyephemera...and yes, audio on any of the following artists. Any
lead wouldbe more than helpful. Because many of them were on small labels
thatdrifted into obscurity, there is very little good stuff available and
weare looking at putting together a book/CD and museum exhibit as a result
ofour efforts.
The artists we are focusing on (some of them we have more ephemera
thanothers):
Abby Holman c. 1929> Sophie Tucker c. 1929 & 1950s> Mae Questel/Betty Boop
c. 1940s & 1960s> Ruth Wallis c 1950s> Sadie Banks c 1950s> Abbe Lane c.
1950s-1960s> Frances Faye c. 1959> Jean Carroll c. 1960> Selma Diamond>
