132 | Drag Queen & Her Mummy: Dorian Corey
Episode description
Dorian Corey was a famous drag queen in the New York "ball" scene, who gained mainstream recognition when she appeared in Jennie Livingston's documentary Paris is Burning. Three years after the movie's release, Corey died of AIDS-related complications, and her extensive costume collection was passed on to her friend and caregiver, Lois Taylor. Taylor went to Corey's apartment to sort through the clothes- and in the back of the closet, in a large trunk, she found a mummified body with a gunshot wound to the head.
