Charles Freeman Stamper, aka Stephanny, was more than a Drag Queen, more than a rags to riches story, and certainly more than expectations others had of him. Freeman was a secretary, a decorated Veteran, an advisor to beauty pageants, an advocate for Gay rights, and an amazing square dancer! He defied the Supreme Court and made an impact on countless lives through his generosity and courage. This film captures a life worth living and worth discovering. His was an authentic life. And in the end...he gave it all away to help others. As Freeman said, "I'd give you the dress off my back!"
