MISS UNDERSTOOD (56A: Iconic NYC drag queen) MISS UNDERSTOOD first appeared on the New York City drag scene in the late 1980s. (Side note: Just the other night I commented to my husband that the fact that it's now 2025 makes it difficult for me to uphold my belief that the '80s were only 20 years ago.) She has appeared in several movies and TV shows, including To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar (1995), Project Runway, and Sex and the City. In 1993, MISS UNDERSTOOD founded Screaming Queens Entertainment, a drag queen booking agency.
