Eva Robins plays the leading lady. She is gorgeous & super-convincing throughout.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-52100406239164807322009-09-04T10:35:07.577-04:002009-09-04T10:35:07.577-04:00Jessica --- Thank you for the tip about Mr. Leguiz...Jessica --- Thank you for the tip about Mr. Leguizamo's book.

He actually talks about it in his book, mentioning the eyebrow waxing, callouses from heels, learning to run in heels and the strict diet enforced upon them. A cool read if you see it in the bookstore :)<br /><br />- JessicaJessica De Leonhttp://jessica-who.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-50293774147077814432009-09-03T10:17:08.286-04:002009-09-03T10:17:08.286-04:00Amy --- I spent some time researching Arthur Blake...Amy --- I spent some time researching Arthur Blake in <i>Port of New York</i> and found he played a "nightclub comic" named "Dolly Carney," but I cannot find one image of his portrayal in that film. For what it's worth, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0041761/plotsummary" rel="nofollow">IMDB's plot summary</a> refers to Blake's character as a "he." So, go figure.Stanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10259788604423472207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-39333176701806505922009-09-03T10:10:21.273-04:002009-09-03T10:10:21.273-04:00Miss Viki --- I loved that film.

I have not seen the film, but understand that he simply plays woman. Period.

Perhaps what is required is an equivalent of Graumans Theatre Hollywood Walk of the Stars for Famous Femulators. A more comprehensive tribute to the many actors who played the ultimate role.<br /><br />It might be called FrauMans Theatre if no better tweak on the theme can be found. :)<br /><br />I know you are terribly busy, and so I hope that I have not tempted you into this exhaustive labor. I know only that I do not have the technical chops or the background notes to make it happen.<br /><br />Any takers out there?Petra Bellejambeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15325233285694315036noreply@blogger.com
