Charles Pierce (1926-1999) was an internationally known and highly successful female impersonator, known for his vivid portrayals of Bette Davis, Katherine Hepburn, and Mae West. This book offers a candid look at a career that spanned over fifty years--from his humble start at the Pasadena Playhouse, to his sold-out shows in San Francisco. Told by longtime friend John Wallraff, and complete with humor, juicy stories of love, lust, sex, and Charles Pierce's own words, this book sculpts an intimate portrait of the man behind the make-up.
