American actor, singer, and playwright
Jackie Curtis (born John Curtis Holder Jr.; February 19, 1947 – May 15, 1985) was an American drag queen, playwright, actor, and singer. Curtis was associated with the Off-Off-Broadway theater movement and Andy Warhol's Factory scene of the 1960s and 1970s. Known for performing in both masculine and feminine modes, Curtis developed a distinctive theatrical persona that challenged conventional gender labels. Curtis's drag style often combined deliberately haphazard makeup, chaotic wigs, vintage dresses, runs in stockings, and glitter, pioneering a blend of camp and trashy glamour. Curtis performed with the Play-House of the Ridiculous and wrote and directed plays including Glamour, Glory and Gold (1967), Vain Victory: Vicissitudes of the Damned (1971), and Amerika Cleopatra (1972). Curtis also appeared in the underground films Flesh (1968) and Women in Revolt (1971).
