January 13, 1884
By 1914, Sophie Tucker was a star, touring nonstop in the U.S. and Europe. She was also a generous woman both personally and professionally. During World War I she raised over $4 million for service members, and years later she donated all the proceeds from her autobiography, Some of These Days, to charity.Sophie Tucker liked to call herself "The Last of the Red-Hot Mamas," and she continued to perform in clubs, movies, and on radio, television, and stage until she was 78! How's that for a red-hot career!
