The first authorized biographical tribute to Charles Pierce, the foremost "male actress" of the 20th Century, has been captured in a thoroughly entertaining, revealing, and funny account by author Kirk Frederick. Born in 1926, Pierce went from playing small gay clubs in San Francisco to international acclaim, with his send-ups of icons such as Bette Davis, Mae West, Tallulah Bankhead, Carol Channing, Katharine Hepburn, and Joan Crawford garnering him fans across the globe and lifelong friendships with Hollywood celebrities like "Golden Girls" star Bea Arthur. Pierce also enjoyed a TV and film career, notably as Bertha Venation in the groundbreaking feature film "Torch Song Trilogy" with Harvey Fierstein, Matthew Broderick, and Anne Bancroft. Foreword by Armistead Maupin, this biography celebrates the essence of a remarkable performer who left an indelible mark on the entertainment industry.
