She moved to Paris just after graduate school, where her master's thesis was on the expatriate artistic community in Paris between the World Wars.[1]
In 2009, Gentry wrote and starred in the TV movie musical Gentry de Paris Revue at the Casino de Paris, directed by Philippe Calvario.[2] The Gentry de Paris Revue ran for two weeks in Paris in September 2009, and it was a Ziegfeld Follies-style theatre extravaganza and the first Grande Revue in Paris for 40 years.[1]
She has performed in Scarlett James' Grande Burlesque Show in Montreal, the Montreal Burlesque Festival, and in other cabarets throughout Europe and North America.[1]
Gentry is also the founder of l’École Supérieure de Burlesque, the first school of its kind in France.[3] It is a school of burlesque for women only.[1]
