He lives in the valley and runs his production companies (kimchristy.com). He has a beautiful wife, children, and grandchildren.

It is quite possible that Thorp read and took from the Life article. <br /><br />I think that it is apparent that Kim Christy was taking some poetic licence when interviewed by the Advocate.

But I'm wondering if perhaps we've misunderstood Kim Christy's self-identification in the photo. Perhaps she/he is referring to the fifth person from the left, with back only half-turned. That does look like the person in the restaurant picture below.A P Terhunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07757869808688269043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6712640935255311366.post-38095358141925556772014-01-20T13:24:37.783-05:002014-01-20T13:24:37.783-05:00IMDB says that The Detective, 1968 was based on th...IMDB says that The Detective, 1968 was based on the novel of the same name by Roderick Thorp.

The pull-quote is "Dressed as women, men con johns and romp in the street." The figure on the left is unlikely to be Billy Schumacher (Chrysis), as he would have been only 13 or 14 in 1964/65.

There were photographs of him (when presenting as a female) from the early 70s in the photo book called The Queens by George Alpert in 1975 (but I think the photos were taken quite a bit earlier). There seems to be a lot of waffling on dates and events from Christy's life, perhaps to cover up that reality?Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11126067426459920339noreply@blogger.com
