Jazz Age singing sensation Ruth Etting had looks, ambition and a haunting, smoketinged voice. It took more than that to make her a star. It took Marty 'The Gimp' Snyder, the limping, evil-tempered Chicago hood who propelled Ruth from dingy dance halls to Broadway fame... but turned her offstage life into a nightmare of violence and fear.
