A celebration of life will be held Sunday, July 17 for drag performer Vicki Marlane, who died July 5 at St. Luke's Hospital in San Francisco. She was 76.

The cause of death was AIDS-related complications, her friends said.

Known locally as "the lady with the liquid spine," for her performance moves, Ms. Marlene was a beloved San Francisco treasure and will be missed by many.

An out transgender woman, Ms. Marlane started a drag revue at Aunt Charlie's Lounge in 1998.
