Early life and career
Jackie Curtis was born in New York City to John Holder and Jenevive Uglialoro. Timothy Holder, her half-brother who is an openly gay Episcopal priest, was her sibling. Her parents divorced, and Ann Uglialoro, a well-known East Village bar owner known as Slugger Ann, was mostly raised by her maternal grandmother. Throughout her career, Jackie portrayed both a man and a woman. Curtis would normally wear lipstick, glitter, brilliant red hair, ripped dresses, and stockings when performing in drag. Curtis pioneered this fusion of trashy and glamorous, a style that has sparked allegations that Curtis inspired the 1970s glitter rock or glam rock movement.
"Jackie Curtis is not a drag queen," Andy Warhol said of Curtis. Jackie is an artist. "A pioneer without a frontier." Curtis, primarily a stage actor, debuted in Tom Eyen's production Miss Nefertiti Regrets, which was performed in 1965 at La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club with fellow newcomer Bette Midler. Curtis began writing her own scripts right away after this performance. Candy Darling and Holly Woodlawn were often included in her productions, such as Candy Darling and Holly Woodlawn. Curtis' work was inspired by the Playhouse of the Ridiculous, a La MaMa resident company. In Amber Orbit, writer and lead actress Gaita LaMaelley, Jr., and Robert De Niro appeared on stage, as writer and lead actor; Glamour, Glory and Gold, which also starred Darling, Melba LaRose, Jr., and Robert De Niro; and Amerika Cleopatra, starring Darling, Melba LaRo, Jr. and Deborah Wood; and Hell, with Ruby Lynn Rey, George Abagnalo was the male lead in her last play "Champagne" at La Mama Experimental Theatre Club on January 3–27, 1985.
Curtis continued to act as he wrote scripts. In a 1966 production of Miss Nefertiti Regults at La MaMa, she reprised her role as Ptolemy II. Penny Arcade, Anthony Ingrassia, and others appeared in Tom Murrin's Cock-Strong in 1969. Ralph Czitrom wrote the script and performed by the Silver Apples, and the Silver Apples provided the music for the performance. In 1973, she co-directed and appeared in La MaMa's I Died Yesterday.
Curtis and Darling appeared in Flesh (1968) and in Women in Revolt (1971), a comedic spoof the women's liberation movement, Andy Warhol and director Paul Morrissey portrayed Curtis and Darling (1968).
Curtis was also a singer and poet. Curtis and Woodlawn appeared in Cabaret in the New York Cultural Center's Sky in 1974. Paul Serrato's album of songs from Curtis' Lucky Wonderful and Vain Victory, as well as Curtis' "Who Are You," which Curtis performed to Darling in 2004, was released in 2004. In the 1979 book The Poets' Encyclopedia, Curtis' poem "B-Girls," much of which is based on her interviews of people who visited her grandmother's bar, Slugger Ann's, was included. It was the longest poem in the book at eight pages long.
Jackie Curtis made two more films in the 1980s.
