Informationen zum Autor Edward Davis "Ed" Wood, Jr. (October 10, 1924 -- December 10, 1978) was an American screenwriter, director, producer, actor, author, and editor, who often performed many of these functions simultaneously. In the 1950s, Wood made a number of low-budget genre films, now regarded as cult classics. Wood's popularity waned soon after his biggest name star Bela Lugosi died. He was able to salvage a saleable feature from Lugosi's last moments on film, but his career declined thereafter. Toward the end of his life, Wood made pornographic movies and wrote pulp crime, horror, and sex novels Klappentext A transvestite assassin with a fur-fetish, on the run from both police and the mob, buys a run-down travelling carnival and goes into hiding with a small-town hooker while his twin personalities -- Glen and Glenda -- continually vie for psychological supremacy. With a supporting cast of hoodlums, predatory queens, rapist farmers, sideshow freaks and corrupt rapist cops, Ed Wood's first published novel, BLACKe ^LACEe ^DRAG -- also known as Killer In Drag -- moves from scenario to sleazy scenario with all the deranged logic and fetishistic detail of his finest movies.
