I don't how I could've forgotten, the most talented of all, Ed Wood. He directed the classic "Plan Nine From Outer Space."
Also, given our proclivities, I should mention that he also directed "Glen or Glenda."
Wood's big break came in 1953 when he was hired by producer George Weiss to make an exploitation film, I Changed My Sex, based on the life of transsexual Christine Jorgensen. After Jorgensen refused to collaborate on the film, Wood wrote a new autobiographical screenplay titled Glen or Glenda, a sincere and sympathetic study of transvestism. Wood directed and, using an alias, played the titular character who has a fetish for cross-dressing and angora sweaters.
