Talking to a friend last night about shows we remembered appealing to our young, gay selves...
There was a documentary that ran on HBO CONSTANTLY when I was a kid (early-to-mid 80s) about female comedians. One of them was a Bette Midler-type who did some sort of cabaret showcase (for some reason I think her name was Zorah) She just fascinated me, but I have no idea what became of her. She seemed really intense.
I think the movie ends with her getting a part in a show about wrestlers (again, hazy memories) that closes very quickly. Like opening night.
Anyone know who she is? WHET her? I can't be the only one who remembers her.
If she wound up being super famous, I'll be embarassed.
