To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar
Long in the shadow of a similarly long-titled Australian movie about a drag act stuck in a small town in the 90s, this Spielberg-produced comedy was groundbreaking for Hollywood at the time.
Manhattan drag queens Vida Boheme and Noxeema Jackson impress regional judges in competition, securing berths in the Nationals in Los Angeles. When the two meet pathetic drag novice Chi-Chi Rodriguez — one of the losers that evening — the charmed Vida and Noxeema agree to take the hopeless youngster under their joined wing. Soon the three set off on a madcap road trip across America and struggle to make it to Los Angeles in time.
