I\'m selling a large Candy Barr collection for a family friend\'s father that passed. While the family wishes to remain private, I have seen first hand his passion for this project he had been collecting since the 90\'s. Press photos, correspondence, memorabilia, pin-up mags. old stag films and random curiosities. (Some cool Betty Page and Bunny Yeager stuff, too!) Enjoy.
Juanita Dale Slusher (July 6, 1935 - December 30, 2005), better known by her stage name Candy Barr, was an American stripper, burlesque dancer, actress, and adult model in men\'s magazines of the mid-20th century.

During the 1950s, she received nationwide attention for her stripping career, her encounters with the law, shooting her second husband, and her sentence to a prison term for drug possession. Candy was also in relationships with Mickey Cohen and Jack Ruby

After serving three years in prison, Candy went to South Texas. She returned to stripping in the late 1960s, and posed for Oui magazine in 1976, then retired. In the early 1980s, she was acknowledged in the magazine Texas Monthly as one of history\'s \"Perfect Texans\", along with other Texans, including Lady Bird Johnson.
