B-Movie King Ed Wood In Drag

This clip of Ed Wood parading about in drag is taken from the bonus materials of Legend Films' release of Plan Nine From Outer Space, the first ever colorized release of the movie. More Ed Wood home movies and commercials are included on the DVD, available at www.legendfilms.net

From the Ed Wood entry on Wikipedia:

"It is reported that Wood's mother, Lillian, always wanted a girl and sometimes dressed young Ed up in skirts and dresses. This went on until Ed was about 12 years old. Some have presumed this to be the origin of Wood's non-sexually oriented transvestite tendencies, but others believe that while on a skiing trip with his relatives, one of his aunts told him to wear a jacket, when he said he didn't have one, his aunt took off her own angora jacket and gave it to him (a theme later seen in Glen or Glenda). The story goes on to say that he liked the feel of the material and made a habit of wearing it."

Pieces Of Shit. If it wasn't for Ed Wood's films we wouldn't have directors like Tim Burton or David Lynch. Plan 9 is one of the most influencial movies of all time.

He was enjoying himself, having a good time. I still love his movies.

Eddie, dressed as a man or a woman, you're still pretty damn awesome.

@knowpassword

Same here. If you like to do this, fine, but... yeesh... :S

Anyone else getting a weird Leatherface vibe here?

@wimmywoo It kinda was. But even if I had said what you thought I said, it couldn't be the stupidest thing you've ever heard. Have you listened to those teabaggers?

[wimmywoo]

@Beatnikzombie im sorry i didnt get what you meant by your comment, it was vague.

[Beatnikzombie]

@wimmywoo I didn't say he played Ed Wood better than Ed Wood. I said that he pulled off wearing women's clothes better than Ed Wood.

[wimmywoo]

@Beatnikzombie That is the stupidest comment ive ever heard, how can Johnny depp play ed wood better thatn ed wood you dickhead?

@morbidessssss

I prefer to look at him as out of sync with time, instead of ahead "his" time.

He'll never catch up to time, nor will time ever run away from him ;)

Johnny Depp pulled it off quite a bit better.
