		Curtis had no real designs on being a woman, not that he was that fond of being a boy, either.
		Curtis was a publicity hound - he hosted several "weddings" for himself over the years, the first taking place on top of a tenement on the same day the first astronauts landed on the moon - and he never minded if Highberger trailed behind him with his video camera, a Sony PortaPack, in tow.
		Curtis was buried dressed as boy, but friends and mourners slipped tokens into the coffin to make him feel more comfortable on his trip to the hereafter.

		Jackie Curtis made contact with the Factory in 1965, but it was not until 1968 (Flesh) that he made a film.
		Of all the drag performers, he was the one to accentuate the duel roles of being male and female, being Greta Garbo or James Dean.

		Curtis was the absolute opposite of the fembots and Ken dolls produced by the Warhol-rip-off "reality TV" programming of today, and Superstar in a Housedress lovingly catalogs Curtis's many moods and modes.
		Darling had to keep her wits about her, because Curtis, however reticent during that film debut, was a larger-than-large life force.
		Far from dull, Curtis was brilliant – smart enough to know you never hold a winning hand when you hold a man, a lesson this doc takes to heart.

	Oh, Jackie: Amy Taubin on Superstar in a Housedress ArtForum - Find Articles
		JACKIE CURTIS made brilliant entrances, and although he sometimes overstayed his welcome, his final exit, in 1985 at age thirty-eight, came much too soon.
		Curtis prefigured in his life and art (they were emphatically inseparable) what would become a premise of cultural studies in the '80s and '90s--that gender is always masquerade, whether one cross-dresses or not.
		Curtis is dressed for the part of a B-girl as Barbara Stanwyck might have played her--blond pageboy wig, dangling ciggie, martini in hand--but the poem is written in the third person.

	Melba LaRose Interview - Jackie Curtis, Candy Darling and Andy Warhol.
		Jackie was a master of publicity, so he got news about the play into all the big gossip columns, on TV, and anywhere else possible.
		Jackie's second play was a take on Tommy Manville and all his wives and was done at the Playwrites Workshop - Tony Bastiano's place, a basement on Waverly Place - Tony was often called "LaPapa." Roz Kelly and I played all the women's roles.
		Jackie was in his Huntz Hall period, so he was taking male hormones and looking like a curly-haired collegiate trust fund kid in a raccoon coat and big shoes.

	The tragedy of Jackie Curtis, poet and superstar - Entertainment - The Empty Closet Archives
		The life and work of Jackie Curtis, best known as an Andy Warhol Superstar, is now out in a book version of the award-winning documentary film by Craig Highberger, a friend of Jackie’s who recorded many of his performances and interviewed many of his friends and colleagues.
		What seems most unusual about Jackie was that, unlike most gay men (who prefer to identify as male), and also unlike most male-to-female transgendered people (who prefer to identify as female), Jackie did not see himself as either male or female, but rather as both.
		It would be interesting to see some of Jackie’s plays today, and to find out if they have dated or if they have a life of their own, outside the in-crowd success they enjoyed in the ‘70s off-off Broadway scene.

		Jackie was obviously a genius who in many ways helped to shape the character of what we know Broadway play to be, and from the off off Broadway level.
		The book/CD focuses on commentary from her friends and aqauintences and whether from a gay/trans or straight perspective, Jackie Curtis was the epitome of living life as one's own self and creating from the most sincere inner feelings in the face of great odds.
		Curtis, as she was usually called, was raised mostly by her granny, Slugger Annie, a bar owner who liked to "wear" seven yapping Chihuahuas in her cleavage.

	Orlando Weekly - Film Review - Superstar in a Housedress: The Life and Legend of Jackie Curtis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Lurching forward (and sometimes sideways) through an incomplete chronology that relies heavily on anecdotes, the movie fails to fully explain just where its subject, Jackie Curtis, came from – and what drove him or her (or whatever) to become one of Andy Warhol's most fabulous discoveries.
		Too tied to both male and female self-images to be considered a pure transvestite (Curtis, we learn, shrank from the designation "drag queen"), the nonetheless frequently cross-dressed artist appears to be beloved far more for what s/he did than what s/he was.
		As a poet and playwright, Curtis is said to have been remarkably fecund, a trait only partially attributable to his/ her voracious consumption of speed.

		Craig Highberger’s documentary portrait of Jackie Curtis shines a spotlight on the amazing career of the late, great Andy Warhol superstar.
		A revolutionary personality and gender outlaw, Curtis both defied and exploded sexual roles, and stylishly established performance as a way of everyday living.
		As a teenager and theater maven, “Jackie” was already experimenting with blurred gender roles when drag was merely a matter of impersonating the opposite sex.

	village voice > film > Superstar In A Housedress by J. Hoberman
		Years in the making, Craig Highberger's Superstar in a Housedress is a fabulously fond and entertaining tribute to the quick-witted Lower East Side kid, the son of a taxi dancer and a marine, who grew up above his grandmother's Second Avenue saloon and reinvented himself as a superstar well before he met Andy Warhol.
		Although inevitably bracketed with fellow Warhol drag queens and Women in Revolt co-stars Candy Darling and Holly Woodlawn, Curtis promoted a funkier style—thrift-store dresses with padded shoulders, but not falsies—that was more the idea of drag than drag itself.
		Jackie taught me how to put glitter on my eyelids and how to wear torn pantyhose with style." Curtis was also over six feet tall and built like a linebacker.
