Juanita Dale Slusher, best known by her stage name Candy Barr, was an American actress, stripper, burlesque dancer, and adult model who appeared in men’s magazines during the mid-1900s. She lived from July 6, 1935, to December 30, 2005.
She gained widespread notoriety in the 1950s for her employment as a stripper in Dallas, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas, her run-ins with the law, the gunshot death of her second husband, and her imprisonment for drug possession. Barr also had romantic ties with Jack Ruby and Mickey Cohen.
Barr relocated to South Texas following his three-year prison sentence. In the late 1960s, she went back to stripping, and in 1976, she did a photo shoot for Oui magazine before retiring. Barr and other Texans, such as Lady Bird Johnson, were recognized in the early 1980s issue of Texas Monthly as one of the “perfect Texans” in history.
