Frank:  Actually it is an Italian name; and yes, it was the name given to me at birth.   I never gave thought to change it because I enjoyed seeing it in lights.

David:  I heard you say on stage that you are from New York.   What made you leave it behind for Las Vegas?

Frank:  CASH.   Just kidding.   Actually because the Riviera Hotel loved the La Cage show so much, they built us a showroom to perform in.

David:  By the way, did you leave many loved ones behind, like family members or close friends?

Frank:  Yes, I did leave a lot of loved ones behind, but was lucky enough to have some family already living in Las Vegas.

David:  How did you become the emcee and starring act at La Cage? Did you have to audition, with a difficult process of elimination, or were you pretty much hired based on your prior entertainment experience?

Frank:  In 1984 I went to an audition in Beverly Hills and was hired for a show they were taking to Florida.

David:  Before your big break at La Cage, were you happy the way your career was going and what sort of shows were you doing and where?

Frank:  I was actually going to college to be a doctor and was performing on weekends in local nightclubs and private parties.

David:  Would you like to perform as a solo act in concert form once in awhile or do you feel at home in a revue format?

Frank:  I already do solo acts when I go on the road and perform at benefits.

David:  You are at the top of your profession, but is there anything in the theatrical field that you would like to do that you have not done so far?

Frank:  Recording an original song has always been one of my dreams.   I have already done a comedy CD and have written a book that has become a best seller called "His Majesty the Queen".

David:  When you do promotion for your book, His Majesty the Queen, video Bold, Blond, & Beautiful, or comedy CD Live from Las Vegas, do you appear at the store in drag or as yourself?

Frank:  Every time I make a public appearance I show up in drag, but any other time I live as a man.

David:  Most Stars write autobiographies in the twilight of their careers, but you are still young and wrote a book about your life, when there is so much of your career ahead of you.   Do you plan to write a sequel some day?

Frank:  If the second part of my life is as exciting as the first part, I will have to write a sequel.

David:  I have seen many photos of you with "big name" Celebrities. If the ones of you in costume were taken backstage when the Stars came to greet you, how about the ones of you in male attire . . . did you visit them at their own performances?

Frank:  Probably, or some of them are personal friends.

David:  If you could wish for something in your life that you don’t have now what would that be?

Frank:  Freedom not to have to answer to anyone.

David:  Do you have any artistic control over the format or the casting in your revue?

Frank:  I guess my previous answer tells you I basically only have control over myself . . . as for the rest of the show, there is a producer that directs them all.

Frank:  Absolutely, and I am extremely grateful for everything God has given me.
