  • Did Alice Cooper, the godfather of shock rock, and Jean Stapleton, the actress who played matriarch Edith Bunker on the television series All in the Family, really hang out together? A viral image supposedly showing the two celebrities at a party was met with some skepticism as it circulated on social media in March 2019: While the Internet is full of manipulated images of celebrity pairings, this is a genuine picture of Stapleton and Cooper. Many viewers claimed that this photograph was taken at Studio 54 sometime in the 1970s and that Stapleton was wearing some sort of bondage attire. However, this picture was actually snapped at the Shakespeare Cabaret during a Free Shakespeare Festival at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles in August 1973. Stapleton's bondage outfit is actually a chorus girl costume that she wore as part of the show. Atom Splitter PR, the boutique music public relations firm that represents Cooper, confirmed to us that this photograph was real and was taken during the cabaret: While we haven't uncovered many specifics about Stapleton's performance, the Los Angeles Times reported that the actress would play a chorus girl during the show. The actress also told the paper that her Edith Bunker image would self-destruct in a Vegas-type act.
