Introducing Gorgeous George

A little video I put together about the subject of my play: AN AUDIENCE WITH GORGEOUS GEORGE! (The Wrestling Sensation Who Changed a Nation) A One Man Bio-Play By Alex Brockie “I was a star when we still had stars… Not like today where anybody with a torch got themselves a spotlight!” (GG) Meet Gorgeous George (1915-1963); the first star of American television and the prototype of the modern celebrity... he was also a wrestler. George’s gender-bending persona and outrageous behaviour shocked conservative post-war America and thrust ‘camp’ into the forefront of popular culture.
