What was the stage name of the striptease dancer who got drunk congressman, Wilbur Mills, in hot water in the '70s?
Answer Fanne Foxe
This saucy political scandal involved “striptease dancer,” Annabelle Battistella (aka, Fanne Foxe), and chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Rep. Wilbur Mills. In October of 1974, Mills was discovered drunk in a car alongside his friend, Fox, near Tidal Basin. The scandal didn't stop Mills for pursuing Fanne Foxe, and he was pushed out of his post, resigning from Congress altogether in 1976.
