I was hoping the reference to gypsy as a theatrical dancer would make reference to Gypsy Rose Lee’s career. The 1940s timeframe would have been perfect… but, unfortunately not to be. According to a mini-biography appearing in the imdb site, she adopted “Gypsy” in reference to her hobby of reading tea leaves. Who knows?

Howard, I’m not sure why you say “not to be.”
Seems to me the term “gypsy” in reference to a dancer might very well have been derived from/based on Gypsy Rose Lee: as you say, the timing is right.
