Broadway Butterfly: Vivian Gordon, the Lady Gangster of Jazz Age New York

by Anthony M. DeStefano

The definitive book on one of the most notorious murders in Jazz Age New York history, that of Vivian Gordon, the high-end escort, con artist, and blackmailer connected to gangsters like “Legs” Diamond and Arnold Rothstein, whose death exposed the dark underbelly of police corruption throughout the city—from the Pulitzer Prize and Emmy Award-winning investigative journalist who is one of the foremost Mafia experts writing today. Like so many other pretty butterflies, Indiana-born Vivian Gordon fluttered to New York in 1920 looking for fame and fortune. Before long, the flame-haired chorus girl parlayed her youth, beauty, and ambition into more profitable means as a tough and glamorous symbol of Prohibition-era excess. She was a speakeasy owner, blackmailer, high-end escort, extortionist, racketeer, and con woman. But given her dangerously intimate associations—from ruthless underworld gangsters to corrupt high-ranking city officials—Vivian was also a woman who knew too much and who rightfully feared for her life.   On February 26, 1931, Vivian’s bludgeoned and garroted body was found dumped in Van Cortland Park in the Bronx. Now, in the first in-depth biography of its kind, Pulitzer Prize and Emmy Award-winning journalist Anthony M. DeStefano unravels her tumultuous life and the headline-making murder that became an obsession for many, including then-Governor Franklin Delano Roosevelt.   The evidence Vivian left behind was a diary with more than three-hundred names implicating powerful officials, philanthropists, businessmen, and every major gangland figure in collusion and corruption. The investigation eventually resulted in the career-endinginvestigation of James “Jimmy” Walker, disgraced mayor of New York City. Ultimately, Broadway Butterfly finally finds a place in history for Vivian, a woman with a rare legacy in gangster lore, whose demise was as tragically inevitable as the brutality of the city’s demimondeduring Prohibition.

[Bill Riggs · Rating 3 out of 5]

It’s unfortunate that a book that has Jazz Age in the title doesn’t touch on any musical talents of the time. No artists, no songs, nothing. Otherwise it is an interesting look at an intriguing and notorious woman’s lifestyle, her questionable associates, and the world in which she lived.

NOT THE BOOK I WAS LOOKING FOR

While not inherently a bad book - except for some flashes of casual sexism and misogyny - it was just not the book I felt I was promised. This is not a book about Vivian Gordon. She is hardly even a main character. This is a book about the world she lived and worked in. If it had just been advertised as such (because it is a fascinating world) I would have been a lot more on board (while of course still resenting the misogyny).

Vivian Gordon, born Benita Franklin travels to New York with stars in her eyes and high expectations of making it on Broadway. So many, like Vivian, get so close to the bright lights and end up getting burned.

The extravagance and excess of the Jazz Age are appealing. When Vivian turns her attention to prostitution and targeting wealthy men in a ruse for their money, it ends badly for her. Her death is the catalyst to uncover the pervasive corruption in law enforcement.

A good part of the book is about the abuse of power and is well researched. Although, it dragged and was hoping for more about Vivian. Her near association with Polly Adler and to challenge her dominance as a madam was something I wanted to know more about. Perhaps her death put an abrupt halt on that endeavor.

This is an good book about the corruption in New York and the catalyst that broke it wide open. Thanks to NetGalley and Kensington Publishing for an early copy.

[Mariama Thorlu-Bangura · Rating 3 out of 5]

If you like books dealing with figures from the days of Prohibition/Great Depression, this is the book for you. However, it is not a straightforward biography about Vivian Gordon. Rather, it's a bio on her and all the people in her orbit, no matter how tenuous the connection may be.

While I like the time period, the delivery leaves a little to be desired. It feels choppy in some areas, as the author seems to hop from one figure to another without a good flow. It also seems that the stories of others overwhelms the story of Vivian Gordon, and that is counterproductive to what the author claims he was trying to accomplish. The author would have been better off framing this book as a profile of ALL the Broadway butterflies of the Jazz Age.

If you have the patience to get through the book, then it's for you. If not, pass over this one.

Thanks to NetGalley and Kensington Publishing for this ARC, which I voluntarily read and reviewed. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This review originally published in Looking For a Good Book. Rated 3.5 of 5

1920's and 30's, New York. A truly exciting era in an exciting city. The jazz age and Prohibition, gangsters and molls. But where there's gangsters and mobsters and speakeasies and prostitution and the heavy flow of illegal booze, there's the danger of murder.

On February 26, 1931, Vivian Gordon, a Broadway Butterfly (a name given to the many young women who were lured to New York by the bright lights of Broadway but who had little to no success on the stage) as well as a high-end escort, blackmailer, and con artist, was found beaten and garroted in a park in the Bronx.

Born in Indiana, Vivian made her way to New York City in 1920, hoping to find fame and fortune on Broadway. It's a competitive industry and even those with lots of talent don't always make it and a beautiful girl (especially in a city like New York) had limited opportunities for an income. Vivian took full advantage of her looks and shrewdly kept a detailed diary of all the names of the men she spent time with. Shrewd ... but dangerous, especially when she associated with such high-profile people as “Legs” Diamond.

Author Anthony M. DeStefano has done some incredibly detailed research and fans of Jazz Age history can really sink their teeth into a book like this. Unfortunately this is not really a book about a Broadway Butterfly or Vivian Gordon. She, and more specifically her death, is certainly the catalyst for a deep look at corruption in Prohibition-era New York and perhaps even brought down some powerful political figures. But the book digs deeper into many people - some who never had contact with Gordon during her life - and the media circus surrounding her death and the corruption in the government that was exposed.

I love reading about the Jazz Age - both fiction and non-fiction - and as an old theatre person myself, I was really looking forward to reading more about "Broadway Butterfly: Vivian Gordon, the Lady Gangster of Jazz Age New York." Had I known this was more about the downfall of the corrupt politics of the age, I may not have selected to read this, but if I had, I would at least have a better idea what I was getting in to. I'm actually MORE interested now, to read a real biography of Gordon.

It's a little hard to write about the complicated spiraling effects of corruption and DeStefano does a pretty good job of keeping the reader informed and on track with what's happening. it does get a little dull at times, as facts are put before the reader, but this is still generally engaging. I just wish it was about what the title suggests.

Looking for a good book? As a biography, Broadway Butterfly: Vivian Gordon, the Lady Gangster of Jazz Age New York by Anthony M. DeStefano doesn't quite work. As a historical perspective of bringing political corruption to light in the Jazz Age, this works fairly well.

I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher, through Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review.

[KarnagesMistress · Rating 3 out of 5]

I think I understand why the rating on this book is so low: it's mis-titled and mis-described. Here is my suggestion for a more appropriate title: Tammany's Twilight: The Murder of Vivian Gordan, the Fall of Mayor Jimmy Walker, and the Rise of Anti-Corruption in Jazz Age New York. This book is only partially a biography of Vivian Gordon, and I'd hesitate to call her a "lady gangster." If she was a "lady gangster," she most certainly wasn't the only "lady gangster of Jazz Age New York," as Anthony M. DeStefano mentions several "Broadway Butterflies" throughout his tale. I would say that the Vivian Gordan biography only takes up about a third of the book. Vivian Gordon's murder may be the book's fulcrum, but in the meantime we learn so much about so many different characters, machinations, trials, etc. Although I thought Romy Nordlinger did an amazing job with her narration, there was just too much to keep up with when you didn't have the benefit of either an index or the ability to easily flip back and forth between sections for reference. Particularly confusing was the similarity in so many names, especially John Radeloff (Vivian's lawyer and ex-boyfriend) and Joseph Radelow (another ex-boyfriend, business partner, and, ironically, Radeloff's cousin). Not even Romy Nordlinger's enunciation could help me keep these two straight.

Don't get me wrong: I liked the book. I probably would've asked to read it even if I had known it's full subject matter. My advice to the interested reader is to give it a try-- just not the audio version unless you also have a paper or ebook copy handy for reference.

I would like to thank Tantor Audio for allowing me to experience this NetGalley audiobook.

I have heard of the Broadway Butterfly Vivian Gordon in the past, but not with as much detail as this book provided. We learned about Vivian’s childhood and her rise to fame and fortune and then her demise. There is much detail into the various corrupt gangsters that Vivian worked with during her New York City stay. She swindled money out of New York City’s elite men and used them up and spit them out. Sadly, Vivian knew too much and wronged too many people along the way, which eventually led to her gruesome death.

I enjoyed reading more about Vivian and this time period. The 1920’s New York City is portrayed in movies as a opulent time, but this book shows the real New York City, full of gangsters and illegal activities. I took a tour a few years ago of Speakeasy’s in New York City so that really helped me to visualize scenes in this book (I highly recommend the tour!). Many men in New York City were corrupt and doing shady business. Vivian, like most women at this time, needed to survive in the big city. Many of these “Broadway Butterflies” tried to get big under the lights of Broadway, but found they could make more money with prostitution and other illegal activities with gangsters.

Thank you to Kensington Publishing and Anthony M. DeStefano who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

[Luann Mae Holmes · Rating 3 out of 5]

The novel is a very in depth look into life in NYC in the late 1920's and early 30's. Prohibition created criminals so powerful and rich, they had police, lawyers, and judges on the payroll. Jimmy Walker, the mayor of New York loved drinking, partying, and a wealthy lifestyle afforded to him by taking bribes from Mafioso. Tammany Hall was a corrupt political machine that got officials elected who would help their illegal activities.

It all came crashing down when an investigator named Seabury decided to go after the conspiracy that imprisoned innocents and exonerated the guilty. Vivian Gordon, was just one of the "Broadway Butterflies" (young women with beauty that came from all over the country seeking fame and fortune) who many times would up in prostitution and murdered.

Vivian, on the eve of giving testimony to Seabury about high reaching criminal activity, was strangled and dumped out of a car. Vivian was no innocent. She was a prostitute and a female racketeer who swindled rich men and other young "butterflies" through extortion usually involving sex. Yet it was her death that created a public outcry and helped to bring down the rampant governmental corruption.

While a part of history I didn't know too much about, it didn't capture my interest as I thought it would.

Vivian Gordon was born in Indiana and educated in a Catholic boarding school with her sisters. She was a rebellious child and in 1920 she went to New York City to pursue a Broadway career and she changed her name to Vivian Gordon. She was one of the many “Broadway Butterflies” hoping to become a famous star. However, Vivian found her true calling as a con woman, high end escort, blackmailer and a racketeer. Prohibition was in effect but that didn’t stop the many speakeasy’s that were in underground NYC. If you paid enough, the corrupt police and politicians turned a blind eye and Vivian was in the middle of it.

On February 26, 1931, Vivian’s mutilated body was found dumped in the Bronx. Who killed her? As the police began to investigate they discovered that Vivian had kept a diary listing the names of more than three hundred politicians, philanthropists, businessmen and gangsters. The city was nervous and people were about to be exposed but would it make any difference in corrupt New York City?

Anthony M. DeStefano has written true crime books about other mobsters but in this book he sheds light on Vivian Gordon , a not very well known women, who was in the thick of the Jazz Age and prohibition. It is a fascinating look into the corruption in Jazz Age New York City and the author’s research is amazing. There are a lot of characters in this book and I liked that at the end of the book the author tells the reader what happened to the major players in the story If you like True Crime stories or just want to read a fascinating story, Broadway Butterfly: Vivian Gordon: The Lady Gangster of New York is for you!

Thanks to Kensington and Net Galley for the advanced reading copy.

[Jenna · Rating 2 out of 5]

The description for this book is misleading. It calls itself an in-depth memoir of Vivian Gordon, but Vivian herself feels more like a supporting character to the grand political and criminal schemes detailed in this story.

In fairness, there is a brief biography of Vivian, though it's detached in a way that never made me feel like I knew any more about the woman than if I had read her Wikipedia entry. We learn more about how her murder affected pretty much everything and everyone else in New York more than we learn about her actual life. Which is a shame because I was highly interested in reading about a lady gangster in Prohibition era New York City.

If you're more interested in reading about how Vivian's death sparked controversy in Roosevelt's political campaigning, (vaguely) contributed to the decline of former NYC mayor Jimmy Walker, or receiving endless fact dumping on every relevant criminal in New York during the 20's and 30's, then this is the book for you.

Really disappointed in this read, though I give it two stars because I believe the author truly cared about telling Vivian's story. I just don't think there was enough research or information to make it truly ABOUT Vivian.

'The image of the Jazz Age popularized by The Great Gatsby, the good times, the parties, the speakeasies and the easy money created an elusive Nirvana...'

Benita Franklin aka Vivian Gordan was drawn to the bright lights of New York City like so many young women seeking fame. They were often branded with the moniker, 'Broadway Butterfly', and sadly, for many, the bright lights that drew them also burned them. In spite of some initial success on stage, Vivian Gorder soon steered her talents towards hustling and prostitution, not only drawing attention from rich men but also from criminals and gangsters keen to get a cut of her money. Her murder in 1931 though, finally provided a catalyst to truly rid New York City from the insidious corruption that pervaded throughout both the police and government departments.

Broadway Butterfly is a well-researched summary the Jazz Age, Prohibition, and corruption. However, I wouldn't consider it a biography. Vivian's murder is used as a launching point to discuss how dirty and corrupt authorities had become and how gangsters had proliferated and profited from bootlegging and extortion. Her life as a, 'hooker, hustler and vindictive conniver who made poor choices', simply exemplifies both the opportunities as well as the criminal tyranny in New York City at that time.

If you are interested in wanting to learn more about the Jazz Age in New York and the gangsters and corrupt policemen and politicians who ran the city, then this will provide you with a great scope.

[Sean Wicks · Rating 2 out of 5]

The cover and title are misleading. Yes, Vivian Gordon is at the center (sort of) of this book in that her murder is the common thread throughout the timeline. However, this is not a book about Vivian Gordon. It is about Tammany Hall, and New York city government corruption. Vivian Gordon gets a couple of chapters to discuss her life, but the corrupt government officials that may, or may not, have had something to do with her death take up the lions share of the book. There are huge sections where she is barely mentioned, and it almost feels as though she is brought up to keep her as part of the narrative.

It's not a bad book at all, just not what is advertised. It is dense in spots, there are a lot of character threads to follow which is part of the problem here. There should be ONE character thread to follow with the others as supporting figures, and that person should be Vivian Gordon. For the most part, she is a specter that hangs over the lives and doings of other characters, and in many ways, she is barely even that.

Broadway Butterfly: Vivian Gordon the Lady Gangster of Jazz Age New York. Anthony M. DeStefano. Citadel, 2024. 256 pages.

In the 1920s and 1930s, there was a group of women who followed their dreams of theatrical stardom to New York City. There were so many that they were given a name, "Broadway Butterflies." Few of them attained stardom, or even work, on the Broadway stage. Most had their dreams dashed, and some were forced to turn to even less savory occupations in dance halls and nightclubs, or, even worse as kept women, mistresses, or sex workers. Some found themselves in lives of addiction or criminality, and several were murdered during the Jazz Age. The most notorious example of the tragic Broadway Butterfly was probably Vivian Gordon. On February 26, 1931, Gordon's battered lifeless body was discovered in a Bronx park. The murder led to revelations of her life as not only a prostitute and madam, but also as a blackmailer and extortionist who kept detailed records of important men and their business with her and her girls. These men were in the top ranks of New York society, business, and government and even included the infamous Judge Joseph Crater, who disappeared, never to be seen or heard from again. Gordon's murder generated a press frenzy and a public outcry, revealing the entrenched corruption of the New York legal system and the blatant corruption and incompetence of the city's charismatic Mayor Jimmy Walker. In fact, Walker was a firm ally of Governor Franklin Roosevelt before the murder, but the public nature of the mishandled and bungled investigation led FDR to turn against the Mayor so that his rising presidential campaign suffered no damage. Was the murderer one of her angry clients, a man afraid that she could testify about the system, of someone else? DeStefano is a Pulitzer-winning journalist who's written several books about historical organized crime figures, and he takes the reader through Gordon's story, the various theories about why she was murdered, and the political ramifications that resulted.

[Tara · Rating 2 out of 5]

Broadway Butterfly: Vivian Gordon, The Lady Gangster of Jazz Age New York was not really a book about Vivian Gordon. Sure, she guest starred here and there, but although it starts with her murder and continues on through a quick run through of her early life, this book is way more about prohibition-era New York City and Mayor Walker. Also, I completely forgot "lady gangster" was in the title until I came here to post this review since the title makes it seem like Gordon was this hot shot shot caller but in the end, despite a variety of diaries over a period of years in existence, we don't know a lot about her-- but we sure learn a ton about Mayor Walker!

As a biography this isn't it but it is a somewhat interesting history on the corruption in that era of New York City, with 'Broadway butterflies' such as Gordon as dim set pieces in the edges of the narrative.

[Jayna · Rating 2 out of 5]

I am struggling with rating this book. As a book, I'd give it at least 3 stars. As a book about Vivian Gordon, it deserves about 1 star.

The title is a misnomer, as this is barely about Vivian Gordon. It is about corruption in New York. Sure, the two are related. But if a book is supposed to be about a specific person, they shouldn't be overshadowed by multiple other people. There are several people who are talked about more than Vivian Gordon in this book.

So my issue is with the expectations versus the reality. I didn't dislike the book- it just definitely was not about what I thought it'd be. Again, the two topics are intertwined. But the life and death of Vivian Gordon shouldn't be a subplot in a book about her.

Romy Nordlinger narrates the audiobook.

📖📖 Book Review 📖📖 What a beautifully wild ride this book was! Before receiving a copy of The Broadway Butterfly: Vivian Gordon, I had never heard the story of this infamous Lady Gangster of the Jazz Age. When a gruesome murder is discovered on February 26, 1932 in New York, the police are left to wonder who the mysterious female victim is. This book tackles the absolutely fascinating history of crime scenes before the technological advancements of today. Vaudeville, jazz, the Public Enemies mobsters combine in this almost too fantastical to be real Great Gatsby era true crime novel. Very thorough yet easy and enjoyable to read, Broadway Butterfly: Vivian Gordon, The Lady Gangster of Jazz Age New York is a captivating read!

Broadway Butterfly: Vivian Gordon: The Lady Gangster of Jazz Age New York by Anthony M. DeStefano is a riveting dive into the life and untimely death of one of the most enigmatic figures of the Jazz Age. DeStefano, a Pulitzer Prize and Emmy Award-winning journalist, meticulously unravels the story of Vivian Gordon, a woman whose life was as glamorous as it was dangerous.

From the outset, DeStefano paints a vivid picture of Vivian Gordon, an Indiana-born chorus girl who transformed herself into a high-end escort, blackmailer, and speakeasy owner.

The book excels in its detailed portrayal of the era, capturing the essence of the Prohibition period with its excesses and corruption.

[Biggus · Rating 1 out of 5]

When a book has a FORTY-SEVEN minute (on audio) you just know continuing is a big risk. I took it, but an hour or so more, and I regretted it. I'm not sure what's worse, the horrendously bad narration, or the jumbled mess writing style. It's like there's a prize for fitting the most proper nouns into one sentence. What the hell is the book even about? After two hours I'm still not sure.

Honestly editors, do you ever actually LISTEN to some of these narrators before you hire them? Tell this woman that she needs to read the book, not sing it. Mindless and constant modulation is not something you should be doing.

If this book is an indication of the author's style, I won't be reading him again.

Vivian Gordon was involved in any number of illegal activities in the 1920s, including prostitution and extortion. This book covers her sad life and eventual murder and the attempts to find and convict the perpetrators. I knew a bit about the Jazz Age, Prohibition, speakeasies, and the rise of organized crime, but this book fills in a lot of gaps with the personalities of the time, including the staggering amount of corruption among public officials and the eventual need for New York's leaders to act upon it.

I only made it 25% through this book before I had to give up. This was the book that I thought it was and the narration made it that much worse. Where this book seem like it could be highly informative there appears to be a lot of conjecture in what I had gotten through especially when some of the 'information' was prefaced with how they could not find records to back it up. Also, where I thought that this book would have been about Vivian Gordon and instead it was more about the time in which she existed and not about her much. In the end this was a book that I just could not get into.

This is a deep dive into the case of Vivian Gordon, born Benita Franklin, then Bischoff after marriage. She took the stage name Vivian Gordon when she made a play for Broadway fame. Her career in extortion was her main way of making money for many years, while trying all along to get her daughter back from her ex. Her murder eventually led to the resignation of Mayor “Jimmy” Walker and the downfall of Tammany Hall.

(Review of 2024 Copy, made possibly by Kensington Publishing Co.) - I agree with a lot of the other reviews of this book in that it is not really a biography on Vivian Gordon. I learned a lot about the world that she was created by and the people she was aquatinted with, but not about Vivian herself. This book is worth the read if you are into 1920-1930s history and politics, but if you are looking for a story about a Broadway Butterfly I would not recommend this book as a resource.

Thanks for allowing me to win this book, Goodreads. The title using Vivian Gordon's name and her story was a little confusing, because the book was more about gangsters and prohibition and the wild times of that era.

"Broadway Butterfly" is a vivid true crime story of a depression era, enterprising woman who lived The Great Gatsby lifestyle through graft, vice and blackmail.

Overall pretty blah to me and I lost interest and quit reading it.

This was an interesting read, but the focus wasn't primarily on the life of Vivian Gordon, in my opinion.
