Part autobiography, part how-to manual, superstar female impersonator Frank Marino talks about performing in the neon city of Las Vegas for the past ten years, along with all the trials and tribulations that he's encountered along the way. Don't miss his many make-up and beauty secrets, fashion advice, and exercise tips on how to keep that girlish figure. He keeps his audience in stitches while his surgeon keeps him in stitches with over nine plastic surgeries. Plus, many hysterical face-to-face encounters with superstars like Joan Rivers, Whitney Houston, Dolly Parton and Diana Ross. Given up by his birth mother, adopted by the Marinos, who passed away while he was still a young boy, raised by his godparents, he began a college career with an interest in Med School. Until that Halloween night when he realized he was better at impersonating famous women. At one point, he became so good that he was actually sued by comedian Joan Rivers for over five million dollars. This was the first time an impersonator was ever sued by a celebrity. Thank God we settled out of court, Frank now quips during his shows, I was about eighty bucks short. The flip side to this, was that all the National press and publicity made Frank Marino a bigger star than ever. His curious nature eventually led him to search out his biological mother, only to discover he may have found the wrong woman. You'll also get a behind the scenes look at his many talk show and television appearances with hilarious anecdotes and never before seen snap shots from Frank's personal photo album. He's climbed the ladder of success, which is no easy task, especially when you're wearing high heels. Discover the rest of his fairy tale as you enter into the kingdom of: His Majesty, the Queen.…

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
And that's before he gets into his makeup, wigs and jewelry! "The ladder of success was even harder to climb wearing high heels!" Marino wittily quips.
Like a fine wine, Frank Marino keeps getting better with age.
After 25 years as the star of "An Evening at La Cage", and never at a loss for words, Marino is an accomplished author, newscaster, columnist, spokesperson, and America's favorite male actress. His first book, His Majesty, the Queen, was an immediate bestseller. His movie debut in the film Miss Congeniality 2 where he can be seen co-starring alongside Sandra Bullock was a blockbuster hit as well. Not to mention his award winning guest starring role in the hit Off-Broadway play "Tony n' Tina's Wedding."
In 2005, Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman proclaimed February 1st, to be "Frank Marino Day." Frank also received a Key to the City, has a street, Frank Marino Drive, named after him, and is forever immortalized in the sidewalks of the neon jungle with a star that bears his name on the Las Vegas Walk of Fame. In 2009, Marino was named Las Vegas' "Entertainer of the Century" and after performing to over 10 million people, he is Guinness Book worthy of having the most performances on any Las Vegas stage.
From the moment he steps on stage you realize that there is no other entertainer like Frank Marino. It's not just his campy voice, his smoothly electric performance, or even his impeccable selection of clever comedy material. It's his energy, which of course is the key to putting on any live show. And in the case of Frank Marino, Niagara Falls could take lessons.
