Photos of Vicki Marlane and Performing Group

Photographs of Vicki Marlane from the 1960s and early 1970s. Includes a photo of the group of female impersonators who performed at Club Diplomat in the early 1960s. Vicki Marlane (1934-2011) was a legendary San Francisco drag queen and transgender woman. Marlane had a long career; starting in the 1950s, she performed as a female impersonator, stripper, and carnival sideshow performer, and she continued to perform in drag almost until her death in 2011. In her last decades, Marlane led the Hot Boxx Girls, the in-house drag troupe at Aunt Charlie's Lounge. This item comes from the Felicia "Flames" Elizondo Papers at the GLBT Historical Society.
