Dude Looks Like A Lady... Again

Following Dude Looks Like A Lady, here are four other characters from film and TV who've dressed in drag:

Dr. Frank-N-Furter (Tim Curry), a sweet transvestite from the planet of Transsexual, in the galaxy of Transylvania made a man (with blond hair and a tan) in The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Bill Haverchuck (Martin Starr) wore women's clothes, a long blonde wig and make-up to go trick-or-treating as Jaime Sommers from The Bionic Woman in Freaks and Geeks.

Hank Rossi (Clark Gregg) wore women’s clothes and became known as Henrietta when he decided to become a woman in The Adventures of Sebastian Cole.

Jerry Espenson (Christian Clemenson) donned a Little Bo Peep costume when he incorrectly thought it was Halloween already in Boston Legal, while his colleague Carl Sack (John Larroquette) dressed as a French maid in an effort to prove he could still behave like a kid sometimes.

Film Poster Comparisons

Film posters that reference, parody or borrow from other films:

The tagline A Different Set Of Jaws, used on this poster for The Rocky Horror Picture Show, was a reference to Jaws which was released in the same year.

This Fanboys poster is a parody of the poster for The 40-Year-Old Virgin, with a Darth Vader helmet replacing Steve Carell's head.

This poster for American Teen is almost identical to The Breakfast Club poster, highlighting the similarities between the documentary and the film.
