Charles Pierce

Born in Watertown, New York, USA on July 14, 1926 — died May 31, 1999 (aged 72)

He began his show business career playing the organ and acting in radio dramas at station WWNY. He branched out into a comedy routine, attired in tuxedo, yet managing to evoke eerily convincing imitations of popular movie actresses. Eschewing the term drag queen, which he hated, he billed himself as a male actress.
