C – Donna Personna, right, takes a break in the dressing room in between sets at Aunt Charlie’s Lounge in San Francisco on Friday, May 20, 2022. While at 75, she is one of the oldest drag in town, she began her career only in her late 50s. Today, she has performed in over a hundred venues across the country, including the prestigious Lincoln Center in New York City; she has starred in three movies and has lectured university students about the history of the transgender movement and drag. “I used to have massive stage fright,” she says as she points out the empowering feeling she gets from performing today.
