Entertainer Gracie Hansen, the woman behind the Paradise International nightclub at the Seattle World's Fair, 1962
Order an ImageOne of the most memorable women of the Seattle World's Fair, Washington State native Gracie Hansen was brash, witty and charming. Hansen ran the Paradise International on "Show Street," the adult entertainment section of the Seattle World's Fair. She hired Barry Ashton, a top showman, to produce "A Night in Paradise," a Las Vegas-type show that was as controversial as it was popular.
