Rose La Rose (October 27, 1916? – July 27, 1972) was an American burlesque dancer, film actress, and stripper nicknamed the "Queen of Burlesque," the title of a 1946 Hollywood film in which she appeared.
She was one of the rare women on the burlesque circuit to evolve from performer to theater owner when, later in her life, she traded her performing career for that of owner and operator of two Toledo, Ohio, burlesque theaters.
