Born in Watertown, New York , 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 clothing 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 . Initially playing in small gay clubs, his fame spread. He took up residence in San Francisco, California , where his act became well known to Hollywood stars.

His act was centered on wit rather than accurate mimicry, though it was often said that he looked more like Joan Collins than did Joan Collins herself. He performed at many clubs in New York, including The Village Gate , Ted Hook s OnStage, The Ballroom, and Freddy s Supper Club. He was a guest actor on an episode of TV s Wonder Woman TV series Wonder Woman and played a cross dressing villain in an episode of Laverne & Shirley Murder on the MooseJaw Express .
