Charles Pierce

Acting·July 14, 1926·† May 31, 1999 — 72 years old·Watertown, New York, USA

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.
