John Berendt anointed her America's second most famous drag queen (after RuPaul) when he wrote of her in his best-selling blockbuster Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, soon to be a movie directed by Clint Eastwood.

...burgling of the aforementioned vault--located at CIA headquarters in Virginia--when you're calling long distance from Prague? Finally, why did director Brian De Palma permit Vanessa Redgrave to act in this movie? She's good and funny as a woman of a certain age, and an evil genius besides, reduced to mewing kittenishness in Cruise's presence. But she makes everyone else look bad. She also makes us realize what we and the movie so desperately miss: recognizably human behavior...
