I, as surely many of you, highly appreciate Frank Langella's acting. On
a
relatively recent Tavis Smiley show he mentioned that he would be
playing
a woman in an off-broadway play and that to play such a role will be
the
ultimate challenge for him. I have provided the relevant segment of
the
interview for you all as well as access to the entire interview for
those
who are interested.

Not to belittle Mr. Langella's acting ability but in NYC theatre there
is
only one "Grand Dame": Charles Busch. One introduction to Busch
is the documentary "The Lady in Question is Charles Busch",
available on video and Amazon instant video:

His Wikipedia entry can be accessed here:

His website can be accessed here:
http://www.charlesbusch.com/
and the site's table of contents is here:

Busch, like some other drag performers, provide support for the
claim that some of the finest ladies have been played by men.
