RuPaul Talks About Patrick Swayze's Drag Queen Days


RuPaul is bringing his special form of drag to the Logo network as the mentor and judge for a new reality series, "RuPaul's Drag Race."

At a press conference for his upcoming series, RuPaul recalled working with Patrick Swayze on the film 'To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar.'

"He was truly generous and a real sweetheart," says the drag queen, who has not spoken to Patrick since the actor was diagnosed with cancer. "A lot of the time when straight men come around the drag thing, they have to assert their masculinity. They act a peculiar way. He was very secure in who he was, understood the act of show business and performing. He was really generous and lovely. He did a really good job, too. We will really miss him. I feel so sorry for his family."

RuPaul credits Patrick's background in dance for making him a good drag queen. "If you see the movie, he sold it. Not on how he looked, but on his body. He really nailed it."
