“Lucy Wightman's journey from the blue-blooded culture of Lake Forest, Illinois, to Boston's Combat Zone is an unflinching dive into a bygone era. It’s a complex character study and rare introspective look into the psyche of an intellectually gifted adult entertainer. At times Princess Cheyenne reads like a Pynchon novel, while at others it’s an inspiring paean to the pursuit of adult freedom, sexuality, and self-discovery.”—Dave Wedge, New York Times bestselling author of Riding with Evil, Boston Strong, and Blood & Hate: The Untold Story of Marvelous Marvin Hagler's Battle for Glory
How did a debutante from Lake Forest, Illinois, end up in Boston's notorious “Combat Zone” and become its most famous stripper? What led her to convert to Islam and get engaged to Cat Stevens? And how did she end up traveling and performing with Andy Kaufman and hosting a radio show for the sexually bewildered opposite Dr. Ruth?
In 1977, an eighteen-year-old Lucy Johnson stripped out of her bellbottoms and Birkenstocks and was crowned the feature attraction at the Naked i Cabaret. Local and national media took note of her toney background and, for the next eleven years, she strutted her way into Beantown history as the "Socialite Stripper."
In Princess Cheyenne, Lucy Wightman recounts her wild, Zeligesque life both in and out of the Naked i. Smart and uproarious, this is the untold story of a legendary performer whose stage name is synonymous with “The Zone,” Boston's most mythical district, and a fount of nostalgia and wonder to this day.
