What book
@@ENOUGH_BEST_SONGthe one that she mentions at the end
interesting perspective, nice lady.....thank u
In the mid 80’s and through the 90’s I worked for a man who passed away in 2001 who said he and two others were in Dallas on business on 11/21/63. On Thursday evening they went to Jack Ruby’s Club, I presume the Carousel Club. Shortly after they were seated Jack Ruby walked by smiling and greeted them, and said that they had missed the floor show but that they should keep their ticket stubs because in a little while there was going to be a drawing for a stuffed animal. He spoke as if this was a good thing, and these guys would really care. After Mr. Ruby moved along they looked at each other and promptly left. My friend did not witness the assassination as he was in a plane waiting for takeoff from Love Field when Air Force One arrived.
Nancy Myers is a nice lady & her story is interesting because of how close she was to her boss Jack Ruby. Good interview Stephen !
Loved Mr .Fagln's reaction when Nancy said she was doing her "dance" right there...priceless!
Such a pleasure to hear her story. A sweet lady.
Very good interview, as ever.
This woman is great! Best interview the 6th floor has ever done
She had a book and a dvd to sell so... And portraying Ruby as an angel... He acted as a bouncer in his clubs and was no angel at all...
Best of your interviews.
Nancy still looks youthful and attractive. I would really like to know more about the things she did not wish to discuss---like Beverly Oliver. I think her thoughts and impressions would be important to know. Thanks Nancy and The Sixth Floor for a very interesting talk. You are important to history.
Wonderful lady, great stories of Jack and the times then,
What an interesting story !
On a scale of one to ten, I give Nancy a ten.
I personally like folk like Nancy. I've known and do know folk like Nancy. I enjoy their company.
excellent!
She obviously thinks Beverly Oliver is Full of Baloney but I wish she would have said it for the record.
Conspiratard .....
Agreed Beverly Oliver had to be one of her unfavorites....
I think she did with her facial expression and her response
You're right just like Mary Moorman knows Jean Hill is full of it.
Probably afraid of being sued!
Just watched this again and was reminded how good it was....not only was it really interesting to hear all the information about Ruby and those times, but on a personal level...what a great lady.
Wonderful!
Awesome
Very sad that she suffered and died of COPD. Her voice is a dead giveaway to decades of cigarette abuse. :-(
Back then...virtually everybody smoked!...Smoking was so deeply ingrained in our culture...you were not really cool, unless you smoked!..Check out most any movie made in the 40s and 50s, and you will see what I mean!
@@curbozerboomer1773 I know that. I am 62. I grew up with chronic asthma while my mom smoked 2+ packs of cigarettes a day. I never knew anything other than smoke and coughing in my house.
I loved listening to her story. Id also love to see more of "Jada" and if she said she never saw Oswald with Ruby.
She died a long ago during the 60's...
@@easyabc1404 was she the one that died after being pushed opps i mean after falling out of a moving car?
@@johnjames5712 I was talking about Jada who died in the 60's. Don't recall how she died.
A real character, God bless her
Funny the club was still open with Ruby in jail as if nothing had happened, typical of the city at that time.
Best part of her comment I liked is when she said.Ruby wouldnt have took that dog with him. To knock Oswlald off.
This woman shows us that strippers can be very good people!...She had two small children to raise, and took that seriously....She was a well-intentioned, hard-working mother, who kept her standards intact...I have known a couple of women of similar situations...some ladies do spin out on drugs, etc...but many of them are decent people, who need to earn money...she found her way....what a beauty she was!
Really? Where was the father (s) of the children of that woman? Stripping and prostitution goes together...
What a remarkable lady. Many dancers have been poorly judged throughout the years for dancing/stripping, but it is a good way to make money for school or to support family. Nudity is nothing these days... if you got it, I say, go for it.
Striping is a pathetic way to make a living,get real.
Classy lady ppl say. I say low class.
@@johnmccarroll Open your mind, you judgmental fool!
When Jada gave her interview it was within months of the assassination. I trust her account
What did she say really nothing .That she didnt hear him speak highly of Kennedy means nothing.This lady was much closer to Ruby.
@@randyharris3175
I think what she said is corroborated by other witnesses....In fact the Dallas PD and the press believed Ruby knew Oswald and this can be seen on RUclips. Obviously they then quickly shut that line of thought down when Oswald had to be a lone nut
I kind of feel sorry for Ruby he wasnt a bad guy just over emotional. But is what is very obvious from the facts is Ruby grew a hate for Oswald that weekend and by happenstance he killed Oswald
@@randyharris3175
Ruby was a violent, gun toting, aggressive night club owner.
I bet you dont believe him when he says it was a conspiracy and the people in power will never let the truth come to the surface and he even pointed the finger at LBJ.
He pleaded with Earl Warren to take him to Washington so he could tell him the truth but Warren wouldnt. Ruby said he cant tell everything in Dallas as he didnt feel safe so Warren said he shouldnt say anything...Warren should have moved heaven and hell to get Ruby to Washington even on the off chance he had information regarding the assassination.
Why would Ruby grow a hatred for Oswald? If he loved JFK that much why couldnt he be bothered to walk 2 blocks to watch the Kennedys pass by? And how the hell Ruby knew Oswald was a member of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee when even Henry Wade got it wrong, we shall never know.
@@geoffreyjohnstone5465 also the fact that Ruby's psychiatrist when he was in jail was a man that could induce insanity in people without their awareness. I don't believe Ruby just went crazy overnight. Out of the 4 men who searched Ruby's apartment I believe three died. Even if Ruby loved JFK you would figure he would want LHO to be tried in court cause how does he know if he was really guilty of the assassination. The only thing that gets me about the whole Ruby ordeal is his western union visit literally minutes before he shot LHO which makes it seem like he wasn't really planning on killing LHO until the opportunity arose at the last moment. Maybe he wanted to make sure he sent out that girls money before he shot LHO,we will never know.
I know Nancy is a private person for the most part, but I was curious if anyone know how she is currently (2019)?
She passed away in July 😪😪😪
@@amberjean1107 Her interview lives on though Amber !
Definitely a different story than I'm used to hearing here, but nonetheless entertaining. :)
I talked with Tammi on the phone once.
And? Why? You can do better than that.
@@Contact_Info I wrote her for an autograph, she called to tell me she had a book coming out. I missed this event & the strippers that danced at the Texas theater. I got tons of JFK related autographs. Most recent is Earl Warren.
@@victorwadsworth821 Earl Warren is burning in hell. What a sell out.
@@jenniferwise8515 Do you remember when JFK was killed?
@@victorwadsworth821 yes
R.I.P. Tammi
One thing for sure her interview puts to rest Ruby being a big mob guy.She knew him very good.
Loved this lady. Wonder what ever happened to Jada?
Ruby had major mob ties from Chicago, New Orleans, and Vegas. Ruby also worked for Nixon as an informant in the 40's. Ruby complained of injections while in jail and begged to be taken out of Dallas and wanted to be sent to DC. he was scheduled for another trial. he died of cancer only 1 month after diagnosed. he was a health nut who never smoked. famous reporter Dorothy Kilgallen saw him in private while he was in jail. she bragged that she would break the case wide open. she died soon after, and her friend who had her diary was killed soon after and her diary is gone. funny the Warren Commission called her but not the Newmans who were 15' away from JFK when his head was blown off!
Just think Perhaps the Warren Commission were looking for the Nunleys like that neathead reporter called them every other minute of rheir yv interview
Secret service dude fired that head shot
@@thaadministrationmedia989 No..that's BS nobody in the limo or the motorcade fired a shot
@@philwright2480 idk man it may not have been the secret service, fo sho that last shot came from the front maybe side of him. His body slammed back then forward.
Stop your fantacy i know she busted your bubble but everybody who was close to ruby knew he was not part of the mob he was a braggard he wanted to make you believe he was
I thought not discussing her feelings about Beverly Oliver was classy.
+Janette Hudson Old school diplomacy and by saying nothing says a hell of a lot :)
She was a classy chick. The film true tales is amazing. You can watch it on Vimeo and search True Tales.
She is such a classy and cool lady. Reminds me of my grandma.
Did you ever see Lee HO at the club? No, with the personality he had I cant imagine him hanging around there. She knew him?
Keeping the myth alive. Well played.
Jack Ruby gave Candy Barr her name.
How did she buy a house as a single mom with 2 kids? Do you have a curious mind Stephen? Ruby didn’t even own a house...did he?
Fagin is not remotely curious. A Warren Omission lapdog.
We can guess, that some men would have been real "sugar daddys" to her, from time to time...big money can be made that way, and houses were so much more reasonably priced back then...she may have been able to save up, and pay cash for a modest home.
@@curbozerboomer1773 CASH??????????? A bank loan like anybody, yes, but CASH FOR A HOUSE?
The funny thing is everybody who actually knew Ruby thought it was laughable he was a big time mob guy including her.
He was impulsive, and sometimes violent...but do some research...virtually nobody thought he was a mobster!
Stephen should've asked if she knew whether Oswald and Ruby knew each other. Considering Ruby's other strippers said he did, and that Oswald was at the Carousel numerous times before the assassination
Numerous times, no. But at least once in november 63 a few days before the 22nd.
She seems wild, using "UPI" and "green", what ever that means... single mom.... dancing.... hmmmmmm LOL
A pleasant few drops of water in the ocean of minutiae.
No one saw his girlfriend? Yeah not gay at all
There are a few stories about him, maybe bisexual...he really did have a long-term relationship with a woman though.
@@curbozerboomer1773 Gay people have ZILLIONS of woman friends...
Nice woman deluded about Ruby...
He did have some pretty girls Ive heard a cop talk about how pretty and nice they were.
THE Story is Ruby+ 2 Oswalds+ Tippet all in the Carousel Club.
People like her give the best testimony because they have zero qualms or shame with regard to their place in that moment.
Too many times a memory will be altered by what they wish they had done or didn't do, what they heard or didn't hear after, etc.
She was a stripper. She stripped up to the time of this recording if I heard her right, haha.
She knew Jack Ruby very well and laughs at the idea that he was anything more than a hustler. She doesn't use that term but what she's describing is *not* some guy within deep mafia circles or a power structure. He was a hustler that sold the right to view naked women and would do what he had to in order to make more money. Find beautiful women, new women. BS and say whatever to get customers in his establishment. Etc.
He was a loudmouth hustler that thought he'd be a hero until the day he died by shooting Oswald. I doubt he really thought about it long at all. He was there, he had a gun, probably heard people say things like "oh, I wish I could..." or "I wish someone would..." and he did.
I know people like him, haha. That's the thing. I can easily see how it went down.
Anyway, she's so believable because she makes no high-crime about it. No story of how she was almost here or there. No story of rumor she heard or anything she made up just to involve herself more. Just matter of fact replies from a woman that made a living in the margins of 1963 society, that knew Jack Ruby. Nothing more or less.

Shn was beutiful 👧😄
She
Btw who was Mr ruby's girlfriend .what was her name could anybody tell me?
one classy gal
She moved to strip in Omaha....:::..
Definitely a drinker and a smoker. Just saying.......
Fits right in with all the politicians and law enforcement of the times.
So common back then, and maybe now too!
And a liar...
Wow Jack Ruby was not the baddie as made out to be and even took care of his girls whom were single mothers and ill.
YEAH! Jack Ruby was a pure angel... He was not gay and NEVER invited his girlfriend to his clubs... The PERFECT man...
I do not what anyone else thinks , but Jada looks a little like Dolly Parton .
I thought so too!...and maybe a bit like Bruce Jenner! lol...very sexy person, likely dead from living in the fast lane...not like Nancy.
She knew nothing about who Ruby was....so obvious. This is so vapid. He was the boss and about making $$ off these chicks.
Bet she could really talk off camera.ha.
It would really have been great, to hang with her, have a couple drinks, and listen to her life story...For an elderly woman, she still looked good--did not get all fat-and-sassy, like so many of her type become...I bet she weighed just a few pounds more than when she was dancing for dollars!..wonder what she died from.
Ruby doing all this when did he have time for his mob duties? Lol
No mob duties...he was too much of a flake to be used by the Mob...They have standards!
@@curbozerboomer1773 Indeed he was up to his neck in debt with the IRS they actually sent Sheriiff a bil where Ruby owed like 4 thousand dollars after he was locked up. I like when Myers said I know damn well Ruby wouldn't have took that dog if he was going to do a hit on Oswald seens like a truthful lady.
Jada is Jackie Kennedy (in disguise).
1250 personal recordings with people who had something of interest about the JFK assassination and The Sixth Floor Museum STILL thinks Oswald shot Kennedy, Lol. (They don't actually believe it they just keep the lie going as best they can.) There were so many groups of people associated with the assassination it's almost ridiculous. Nice lady here but I don't for a second believe much of what she says about Ruby. He was a KNOWN Mob hanger-on. A wanna-be. She would know this. (I don't blame her a bit because she surely knows that other dancers who worked for Jack and said too much ended up dead; at least four that I'm aware of.) Ruby shooting Oswald (who never fired a shot) because he didn't want Jackie to go through the stress of a trial is literally THE most absurd "motive" for murdering someone I've ever heard. Many things went "right" on 11/22/63 and many things went wrong. Oswald was supposed to be killed at the theater but he didn't put up a struggle so they didn't have a reason to shoot him. BIG problem; there cannot be a trial. Oswald has to be dead. Enter Jack Ruby. Somehow the killing of Oswald was the job of the Mob. He owed the Mob money and they threatened him that he and his entire family would die if he didn't do it. Funny story: Just after shooting Oswald, Ruby is sitting in jail. He gets a visit from a Dallas Homicide detective. The detective says Ruby is more nervous than he has ever seen anyone...pacing, sweating, heavy breathing, etc. He asks the detective for a cigarette and nervously smokes it. Someone else comes to the jail door and says something to the detective. The detective tells Ruby, "Hey you're gonna be charged with first degree murder. Oswald is dead." Ruby instantly calms down, stops sweating and looks very relieved. The detective asks him if he wants another cigarette. Ruby says, "Oh, no...I don't smoke." Ruby didn't know until that minute if Oswald was alive or dead. His life depended on him being dead.
@@wallacebell4311 Wow, you certainly haven't done much research have you? I'll just list few easy ones and then I'll be done here...a picture of a bullet hole through the windshield when at Parkland, with a video interview of the then student nurse that saw it; she still worked there in the 90's when the interview was done. Pictures of two bullet marks on the inside window frame of the limo. The pristine bullet left on a stretcher in the hallway that Connelly was taken off of. And...you can actually see a bullet strike the cement surface around the sewer enclosure in the Z film as the limo goes by (watch the frame by frame version.) How many shots are we up to now? If you were hoping for links to these things, I'm not that nice...YOU do the work. It's all there in still pictures and the Z film. Happy hunting.
Go get educated your so far off base it's not even funny
Wow...I guess your opinions rule all the rest of us, huh?...time for your medications.
Wheres all the conspiracy guys now you know ruby was not in the mob
Ruby was a Jew of course he wasn't in the Italian mob
@@bradmeeds1226 Tell that to the buffs
@@bradmeeds1226 like MEYER LANSKY and BEN SIEGEL were not in the mob. ROTFLMAO.
@@jenniferwise8515 was lansky n siegal made men?
Is this a woke/politically correct audience? Tammy True has probably never had such a quiet and unresponsive audience in her life. All the places where audiences would laugh in 1995 and before are simply dead now. Was the audience told to shut up, you think?
Mostly old, not too swift people were there!...I loved her lack of artifice...she was a real person.
One of the best
Terrible Interviewer!!!
