Synopsis: | A theatrical romp-from small-town USA to the pink carpet of Hollywood-My Trip Down The Pink Carpet tells the unlikely tale of one of America's true gay icons. Raised in a conservative family in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Leslie Jordan-who describes himself as "the gayest man I know"-boarded a Greyhound bus bound for L.A. with $1,200 sewn into his underpants and never looked back. His pocket-sized physique and inescapable talent for high camp paved the way to a lucrative and varied career in commercials and on television. Along the way he immersed himself in writing for the stage, and his one-man testimonials have become cult hits. But with success came dangerous temptations that threatened his career and life. Filled with comically overwrought childhood agonies, offbeat observations, and revealing celebrity encounters-from Boy George to George Clooney-My Trip Down The Pink Carpet delivers a laugh-out-loud take on Hollywood, fame, addiction, gay culture, and learning to love oneself. | |||||
