Jan Welles was a stunning, velvety-voiced crooner who drew raves from Walter Winchell and Cole Porter. She was also the first female bullfighter in the world, excelling at the sport and incorporating it into her singing act.

From the dazzling lights of Broadway to dusty Mexican bullrings, to flings with Lana Turner and Paulette Goddard, Welles's tale is a saucy story of achievement, danger and triumph., Jan Welles was a stunning, velvety-voiced crooner,who drew raves from Walter Winchell and Cole,Porter.
