About To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar
Manhattan drag queens Vida Boheme and Noxeema Jackson impress regional judges in competition, securing berths in the Nationals in Los Angeles. When the two meet pathetic drag novice Chi-Chi Rodriguez — one of the losers that evening — the charmed Vida and Noxeema agree to take the hopeless youngster under their joined wing. Soon the three set off on a madcap road trip across America and struggle to make it to Los Angeles in time.
Directed by Beeban Kidron, To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar leans on a strong ensemble — Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, John Leguizamo — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1995.
