For Beyond 50's "Celebrity" talks, listen to an interview with Walter Cole. He is famously known by his alter ego, "Darcelle", the female impersonator from Portland, Oregon to run the longest-running drag cabaret on the West Coast. You'll find out his history of leaving the military in the 1950s to start a family life that ended in divorce after eighteen years of marriage when he accepted being gay. Cole developed his interests in acting when he opened Darvelle's XV in 1967 to perform drag cabaret. He'll also talk about being a local icon and creating La Femme Magnifique Pageant that is an annual event to crown the most glamorous female impersonator in the world.
