After keeping a low profile for a number of years following the events of 1963, later in life Nancy Myers began to embrace her connection to Jack Ruby and the Kennedy assassination story. In 2013, she co-wrote an autobiography, The Wild and Wayward Tales of Tammi True, with David Hopkins. The book may be found here in the Museum's Library Collection: Bibliovation | Details for The Wild and Wayward Tales of Tammi True. That same year, she participated in a feature-length documentary, True Tales: JFK. 1963. Exposed. (2013), produced by AMS Pictures. The DVD may be found here in the Museum's Library Collection: Bibliovation | Details for True Tales. Myers also became associated with the Dallas-based urban burlesque troupe, the Ruby Revue, which was founded in 2007 by dancer Missy Lisa and named in honor of Jack Ruby. Beginning in 2013, Myers appeared on stage as a special guest for a number of Ruby Revue performances at the House of Blues in Dallas. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
