Betty Bunch Named One of Las Vegas’s Best 10 Living Showgirls

BETTY BUNCH

1956 Moro-Landis Line, Sahara

1962 "Gotta Get to Vegas," Dunes

1963 Dick Humphries Dancers, Riviera

1964 Jimmy Durante Girl, Desert Inn

1965-1967 "Bottom's Up," Castaways

This Texas native calls being a showgirl "the answer to a lifetime dream."

"I knew when I was 9 that I was going to be a professional dancer," says Bunch, 76, who today writes for Prime View (a publication of Stephens Media, parent company of the Las Vegas Review-Journal).

Bunch -- who dated comedian Shecky Greene for three years -- says showgirls were treated "like royalty" back then.

"We could go into any showroom and the maitre d' would just say, 'Oh hi, come in and have a drink.' They might not have known us by name. But they recognized the showgirl makeup and the height."
