RuPaul has become a worldwide sensation in recent years thanks to the TV show RuPaul’s Drag Race, which began in 2009 and which aims to find America’s next drag superstar. RuPaul has been performing in drag since the 1990s, and after struggling with poverty and drug addiction for some time landed several record deals which kick-started her career. Another famous drag queen is Dame Edna Everage. A woman of many talents, Everage is amongst other things a social anthropologist, a talk show host, an investigative journalist and a children’s book illustrator. She has had shows in London on Broadway, and has performed numerous times for the royal family. A famous figure from Ru Paul’s Drag Race herstory, Willam Belli, who is best-known for her role as transsexual Cherry Peck in Nip/Tuck, Belli is also notorious for being the only contestant to ever be fired from RuPaul’s Drag Race.
