In 1983 Harvey Fierstein’s Torch Song Trilogy won him Tony Awards for Best Actor and Best Play. In 1988 his performance was preserved on film. Fierstein plays Arnold, a New York drag queen who experiences love and loss as he builds himself a family. It was a pleasure to introduce this classic to my guest.
