A great drag performer of the old school. There's even a bit of Joan Crawford in this clip! From "Outrageous!" [1977]. xoxo

  • Look at that audience. Boy that was the clone gay look back then. Feathered hair, cheesy mustache, tight button-down shirt. Man, those were the days.

  • dig the facial hair and hair cuts on the gay guys! And those shirts, how I miss the 70's. And you're right most of them are dead 'cause they didn't know about the Virus and most of them caught it. We have to tell the young guys now, because they are having unsafe sex. The reason they are too young to remember the 80's. Spread the word, no glove / no love! Save a life.

  • I remember the gay culture of the late 70's in Long Beach, CA. The dress code was: feathered hair, mustache, tight Levi 501s and a plaid shirt. They all looked like fabulous lumberjacks! They are all gone now. Dead from AIDs. RIP, boys!

  • @CraigRussell4Ever, do you have the full show? Please upload!!!

  • Watch Charles Pierce-the BEST Bette EVER!

    Craig pales by comparison....

  • Amazing. The body movement and the fantastic vocal immitation. This together with his Mae West must be one of the greatest drag numbers ever.I wish I had been lucky enough to experience him live!!

  • Ah,Baby Jane Hudson! Fantastic parody there,of an iconic film character,

    "But ya ARE,Blanche"

  • SOMETIME LIKE 15 YEARS AGO........

    "Bravo" used to present movies like "Outrageous".....and I loved them. Of course times have changed, but this will always be one of my favorite films.......the spirit of it can always bring you right back to the 1970s'......R.I.P. Craig Russell........what a wonderful talent, the world was lucky to have you, even for just a short time.

  • I just finished watching the movie Outrageous where Craig does all those fabulous impressions. What an incredible genius he was. I'm a straight 60+ grand mother (still hip dontcha know) and I just adore him! What a shame he left us so soon. I feel blessed to have experienced his talent.

  • Great!

  • Feathered hair and mustaches!!!!!!!!! Oh I wish I came 'out' back then! Nowadays Gays are such bitches.

  • Oh the memories. This was filmed at the Manatee Club on St. Joseph St. in Toronto. (long gone I'm afraid). This was in its 'hay days' - in the 70's. Nights of MDA & LSD, drag, dancing and so much fun. Those were the days......
