Danny La Rue
Rather than “female impersonator”, Danny La Rue preferred the term “comic in a frock” and featured in many theatrical productions, such as “Hello Dolly” and pantomimes, as well as in films and TV shows.
Danny La Rue was one of the country’s most popular performers with a career spanning seven decades, and was awarded an OBE in 2002.
