Ray Bourbon

Ray (or Rae) Bourbon (born Hallie Board Waddell; August 11, 1902 – July 19, 1971) was an American female impersonator, entertainer and vaudeville performer, noted for his "outrageous" risqué monologues.

Bourbon claimed to have been a stunt double for movie actresses[1] and an uncredited actor in several silent films,[6] notably Rudolph Valentino's Blood and Sand in 1922.

[4] By 1932, Rae was working full-time as a female impersonator,[5] headlining "Frisco’s first pansy show", Boys Will Be Girls, in San Francisco in 1933 at Tait’s Café.

[4][7][6] He performed his own material or songs specially written for him such as "Mr. Wong Has Got The Biggest Tong In China",[7] and occasionally issued recordings, such as Hilarity From Hollywood (c.1945).

[1] He put on his show Don’t Call Me Madam: A Midnight Revue in Time at Carnegie Hall in New York City to a sold-out audience.

[1][5] In 1944, he was hired by Mae West to perform in her Broadway production of Catherine Was Great, and her show Diamond Lil which toured until 1950.

[1] However, he persistently used the claim in his material and publicity, even releasing an album titled Let Me Tell You About My Operation, and he insisted thereafter on being billed as Rae (rather than Ray) Bourbon.

Bourbon became convinced that the dogs had simply been killed and he hired two men, Bobby Eugene Chrisco and Randall Craneto, to beat Blount up.
