Interview by Chris Charles

Tristan Risk as the plastic surgery sculpted Betty Boop look-alike, Beatress.

"I'll admit, I'd never heard of Tristan Risk until I saw the movie  American Mary, in which she played Beatress Johnson (yes, "Beatress," not "Beatrice"), a stripper who had 14 surgeries to become a real-life Betty Boop look-alike. Tristan has been described as a "corsetier, chocolatier, baker, ta-ta shaker, hip-swayer, tight lacer," and a "troublemaker."

Tilly Blye

At fifteen, Andre was the youngest to be shot by Nazi firing  squad in Paris during the occupation. His father's friends had killed themselves the night the Germans walked into Paris and his father had disappeared.
German officers were being shot in the metro by the French. For every officer, ten random Frenchmen in detention mostly for petty infractions were put before the firing squad. 
Andre had fallen in love and been picked up for curfew violation on the same night. He was still in detention when another German officer was assassinated in the metro.
