Cyndi Lauper places handprints: footprints outside TCL Chinese Theatre
Cyndi Lauper stepped out of her Upper West Side apartment building and onto the streets of New York City. She wore glittery glasses, sneakers with rainbow soles, and a stack of beaded bracelets on each arm.
The rice-paper umbrella dangled in his hand. As he walked, he surveyed the crowd and commented when flashes of interest caught his eye.
“Of course, fashion is hell here,” she allowed from her tight neighborhood. And yet, every few interruptions she would rubberneck another woman’s gaze, pick up her famous New York accent and cackle with delight at what she saw:
“Look at these ladies, how lovely they are?”
“Do you like those pants? I loved those pants.”
“Look at this woman,” he said, stepping off the sidewalk and looking at a passerby. The woman was walking nimbly, her silver hair streaked with tomato-red, body clad in shades of fuchsia and cherry, and she was pushing the gleaming metal frame of the walker. “Fantastic,” Lauper said. “come on!”
At 70, the pop icon and social justice activist isn’t just coming back to the streets. On Monday, Lauper announced her final tour, the Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour, which will see her headlining performances across North America from late October to early December. And “Let the Canary Sing,” a documentary about her life and career that premiered at the Tribeca Festival last year, is streaming on Paramount.
Lauper hasn’t held a major tour – “a proper tour, that’s mine” – in over a decade. But now the window of opportunity is closing for her, so she’s leaping at it. “I don’t think I will be able to perform as well as I want in the next few years,” she said. “I want to be strong.”
And until recently, when she finally agreed to sit in for director Alison Ellwood, she couldn’t even imagine including her life story on film. “I wasn’t going to do a documentary because I’m not dead,” she said. The main thing is that he did not feel that he was particularly misunderstood.
Footprints outside TCL Chinese Theatre
Cyndi Lauper places her hand and footprints in wet cement outside the TCL Chinese Theater in Los Angeles on Tuesday at an event celebrating the “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” singer’s life and career.
“Thank you very much. I’m honored,” Lauper told the crowd outside the theater. “I used to lean against my shower curtain when I was 9 years old, and now I’m here,” she said.
“It’s really a surreal moment because I love glamour, and I love Hollywood,” she said before placing her hands and feet (wearing heels) in cement.
His recognition was preceded by tributes from Bebe Rexha and Cher.
Cher said of Lauper, “She’s my dear friend, I love her and she’s a wonderful, wonderful, crazy, crazy person.”
Lauper announced a farewell tour on Monday, The Girls Just Want to Have Fun Farewell Tour, which will be her first major tour in 10 years.
Lauper is also celebrating the arrival of “Let the Canary Sing,” a feature-length documentary that explores her life and career, which premieres Tuesday on Paramount.
Over the weekend, Lauper was honored as a Lifetime Ally Icon at the West Hollywood Pride Parade for her years of activism on behalf of LGBTQ rights, social justice and women’s issues.
