Stars in DRAG! Who's your Favourite?

and then there was that 70's  ICON Divine..loved her in everything she did, especially Lust in the Dust

[j.U.d.E.]

I voted for Barbara Streisand, Hilary Swank and Terence Stamp, but Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman were brilliant performences too!

Haven't seen "Hairspray" and "I'm Not There" yet.

And HOW could I have missed "Sweet November" with Jason Isaacs!?!  Have to get that DVD right away!!

How about Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon in Some Like it Hot?

[moremojo]

I haven't seen all these choices (most egregiously having missed Swank in Boys Don't Cry), but I opted for Barry Humphries (so supremely witty and charming as Dame Edna), Dustin Hoffman (disappeared into the role of Dorothy), and Terence Stamp (lovely understated performance as the fearless Bernadette); Barbra Streisand as Yentl is also quite good, but I didn't see her disappear into the role like these other performers.

My very favorite drag role isn't listed here--Tim Curry as Dr. Frank N. Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Dynamic actor/singer making an unforgettable film debut in a challenging role.

      Oh my gosh you are so right..That was amazing..I love that movie...It has a great cast too.
We always watch it sometime around the holidays...

       I particularly liked tony curtis in some like it hot..he made a good looking woman..

Hilary Swank made a good looking boy! 

[mvansand76]

Definitely Matt Lucas!

[maturben]

williams, hoffman,stamp--- of the choices offered, but the list of choices could be expanded

all three of them created believable characters (not caricatures) imho

Hugh Laurie appeared in drag at various points in Black Adder, Jeeves and Wooster, and A Bit of Fry and Laurie.  Hilarious every single time.

I voted Cate Blanchett. Thats partly because I have had a crush on her since I was young though. I also voted Hilary Swank and Terence Stamp.

But two of my other absolute favourites are missing from that poll.

Johnny Depp in "Before Night Falls" and Peter Outerbridge in "Better then Chocolate".
