She got into burlesque dancing in 1960 when she was 32 years old after a friend suggested she get into stripping, and continued performing until the early 1970s.[2] She married but she soon divorced, as her husband was abusive. They had no children.[3] She took her name from her friend and confidant, bandleader Duke Ellington. She was also friends with Sammy Davis Jr. and fighter Joe Louis.[3] She would never take off her panties in her act or wear a G-string because it is “entertainment, yes, but the idea is to suggest what’s there, not throw off all your clothes and reveal everything. That’s why they call it strip-tease.” Elling retired in 1974. In 2016 she was inducted into the Burlesque Hall of Fame in Las Vegas.[3] References1. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.mystatesman.com/entertainment/toni-elling-still-queen-burlesque/kDachJYhKcobQNSIhYBtMO/|title=Toni Elling, 85, still a queen of burlesque|last=Barnes|first=Michael|date=9 April 2014|work=Austin-American Statesman|access-date=2017-08-03|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|language=en}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Elling, Toni}}{{Dance-bio-stub}}2. ^1 {{Cite web|title = SO BURLESQUE: SO BURLESQUE: INTERVIEW WITH LEGEND OF BURLESQUE TONI ELLING|url = http://www.soburlesqueblog.com/2011/11/aujourdhui-un-petit-evenement-chez.html|website = www.soburlesqueblog.com|access-date = 2016-02-02}} 3. ^1 2 {{Cite web|title = Burlesque legend Toni Elling to visit Windsor|url = https://windsorstar.com/life/burlesque-legend-toni-elling-to-visit-windsor|website = Windsor News - Breaking News & Latest Headlines {{!}} Windsor Star|access-date = 2016-02-02|language = en-US}} 6 : American Burlesque performers|People from Detroit|Living people|American female erotic dancers|American erotic dancers|1928 births |
