impressions because he was such a unique
voice anyway that I was like well how
can you possibly do impressions yeah
I’ve always said I’ve always said
impressions but yeah I enjoyed doing
them and then they will once that I just
you know I was actually afraid to do cuz
I’m gay enough and my career is over as
it is so I was afraid to do them and
then I was like like Judy and garland
didn’t uh Betty Davis I always do Betty
Davis no but I do Betty Davis like in
all three stages it was the young when
she was you know in dark victory but she
had the brain tumor her death scene
she’s so hyper before she dies it makes
absolutely no sense at all and then
there was baby Jane where she was just
like the plan she didn’t eat your lunch
you don’t eat your lunch you don’t get
any Gingin no but I saw you on the
jungle rivers roast where you dull Betty
Davis I did Betty Davis crap to the
stroke yes you’re the smart one Jo you
had plastic surgery early on so after
your stroke no one could have a tell

roast I took the high road a little bit
I think oh god you’re like the gay
punching bag for two hours it’s horrible
from Sex in the City and sexy straight
men of America let me introduce you to
someone you’ve never seen and never will

rest of them were either plays or
musicals so well you’re on your own kind

it so there’s a lot of new stuff in this

acting career I have I try to hold on to
