Texas Tomboy Becomes Queen of the Speakeasy in New York
Texas Guinan, born Mary Louise Guinan in 1884 near Waco, rose from a Texas tomboy to running New York City's El Fey Club during Prohibition. She built a career from vaudeville to silent Westerns, formed a production company, then moved to New York nightlife, where her club became infamous for showgirls, wit, and high prices. She toured Europe in 1931 with Too Hot for Paris, faced raids, and after legal battles returned to Broadway in 1933 before dying four days after a Vancouver hospital stay.
