Christopher Backus IS Marlene Dietrich — or a Marlene drag performer, in 'My Fair Lidy'

"My Fair Lidy" is shooting in and around Orlando for much of July. And when I stopped by the set Thursday, I chatted with both stars, local drag legend Leigh Shannon, and actor Christopher Backus, who has the title role in this summer's Valencia College Film program co-production, a drag queen comedy about tolerance, acceptance and finding your own comfort zone.

Backus, a hunky 29 year old who could pass for Robert Pattinson's macho older brother,  plays a straight guy who drunkenly discovers his resemblance to Marlene Dietrich and steps, tentatively, into a world he barely knew existed when he dons a dress.
