Blaze Starr (born Fannie Belle Fleming; April 10, 1932 – June 15, 2015) was an American stripper and burlesque comedienne. Her vivacious presence and inventive use of stage props earned her the nickname "The Hottest Blaze in Burlesque". She was also known for her affair with Louisiana Governor Earl Kemp Long. The 1989 film ''Blaze'' is based on her memoir. ==Early life== Starr was born on April 10, 1932 in rural Wayne County, West Virginia, along Twelvepole Creek,〔〔 (also spelled Twelve Pole Creek)〔 the second eldest of 11 siblings born to Lora (née Evans) and Goodlow Fleming).〔 Gives spelling as "Twelve Pole Creek" and "New Ground Hollow".〕 Reared in the Newground Hollow〔 (also spelled New Ground Hollow)〔 area of Wilsondale, West Virginia,〔Newground Hollow is an area of Wilsondale per 〕 she left home at either age 14〔 or 15 and moved to Washington D.C., where, according to her autobiography, she was discovered by a promoter while she was employed in a doughnut shop.
