Danny La Rue, aka Daniel Carroll, the famous British female impersonator (I think he preferred that term to "drag queen"), died on May 31st. I just read an article about it. Didn't hear much about it stateside. Another example of the gap that separates us from the Brits? Or maybe I just wasn't paying attention.
Bob Hope once referred to Danny as "the most glamorous woman in the world." His/her life story is pretty amazing, from what I've gleaned. I'll have to see if there's a good bio.
