I was watching The Mighty Boosh last night and I thought I might resurrect this thread with this androgynous gem. :lol:

Actually, she's a butler. Mia Wasikowska plays a maid who is "his" love interest, all based on a theatrical play.

Since this thread seems to have veered from androgyny to transgender, I am surprised no-one has posted this.

This is going a bit back in time. Mercedes McCambridge from amazing "Touch of Evil"(1958) by Orson Welles.
She played an uncredited gang member who wants to watch Janet Leigh's character get raped.
In later years McCAmbridge did a voice work in "The Exorcist" as a voice of Pazuzu.
