Notes

The following description was provided by James Gardiner: "Danny La Rue out of costume, mid 1960s. He often appeared on and off-stage in male clothing, preferring to see himself as 'a comic in a frock' rather than a drag queen. Extremely reticent about his homosexuality, he had a life-long relationship with his manager Jack Hanson, who pre-deceased him, and with whom he is buried in Kensal Green cemetery, London."
This work is untitled: the title has been supplied by the cataloguer.
