Sarah McKenzie-Duckworth, 24, is well known for being …

Sarah. That’s not something many people achieve in life. She has had more than one stage name (given to her by drag queens, naturally), has performed as a good number of recognizable movie and cartoon characters, and is an accomplished singer, dancer, actress, and model.

When nightclub promoters in Seattle need an entertainer who can do it all, Sarah is the one they call.

And Sarah, more often than not, accepts, performs, and delivers in the way that only she can. But it is her

Legendary rocker Bob Mould is back with a new album and Seattle show

by Chris Azzopardi SGN Contributing Writer Lily Tomlin launched her career over four decades ago with a clan of wacky characters she established on NBC’s groundbreaking sketch comedy show Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In. But what if she had to be friends with Edith Ann, Ernestine, or Susie the Sorority Girl?

It’s something the veteran comedian and actress (who’s been a recurring guest star on The West Wing and Desperate Housewives) never considered until Lily Tomlin as Lillie Mae in Malibu Country

BOB MOULD SHOWBOX AT THE MARKET September 18 I wouldn’t go so far as to say Bob Mould has had a “quiet” music career. He is, after all, an original member of Hüsker Dü, and those guys weren’t all that quiet.

There will be blood

All-female production of Titus Andronicus is just great theater

by Miryam Gordon SGN A&E Writer

Amy Thone as Titus

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT Sarah McKenzie-Duckworth was born in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. When she was three, the family relocated to Florida and her parents separated not long afterward. She told me that although the divorce occurred while she was young, the split played a predominant role in shaping her adolescence.

She was enrolled in dance lessons, and even at age three, Sarah maintains, “I was always the sassy showoff.”

In old Hollywood an actor wasn’t just an actor. And actress wasn’t allowed to simply act. The studios and their adoring fans de-

manded they sing and dance as well – and, then as now, it didn’t hurt if you were easy on the eyes. Sarah identifies with those stars – the Golden Age of Hollywood, as they say.

“I studied dance intensely for over 18 years. I trained in everything from ballet and jazz, to gymnastics and cheerleading,” she recalls. “I began private acting lessons prior to middle school. Entering sixth grade, I auditioned and was accepted into the prestigious Bak Middle School of the Arts in West Palm Beach as a theater major, where my daily education consisted of a well-rounded intensive curriculum that focused on all aspects of the theater.”

During those formative years, Sarah learned improvisation, theater history, audition techniques, costume construction and design, lighting and technical skills, stage design, building and painting and more.

She then re-auditioned and was accepted into the Alexander W. Dreyfoos School of the Arts, also majoring in theater. Here the curriculum was even more rigorous.

Sarah didn’t stop there. She attended private voice lessons, weekly musical theater workshops, and performances. All of the hard work paid off when she was awarded a full-ride talent scholarship for musical theater to Florida School of the Arts in Palatka.

It was there that Sarah truly refined her vocal ability.

“In a way I double-majored because when I auditioned it was for both the musical theater and dance program,” she admits.

“Due to my skill level they allowed me to take dance lessons with the majors. I was the only first-year, let alone musical theater major, in the graduating class’s end-of-theyear dance recitals.”

Palatka is also where Sarah began to see signs of the bombshell she would become today. “I had the privilege of being a muse to many incredible artists, photographers, and choreographers,” she says. “College brought me the closest I’ve been to artistic method and really questioning the fine line

continued from cover over-the-top costuming, party-girl lifestyle, and – at times – vulnerable, authentic self that her friends and fans recognize. With Sarah, what you see is what you get. And what you get is a fiery, multitalented – albeit somewhat crazy – star. And folks just can’t seem to get enough.

Some people are meant to be famous. Sarah is one of them.

“Entertaining is really all I’ve ever known,” Sarah told me as we discussed all things Little Miss McKenzie-Duckworth on a sunlit afternoon on Capitol Hill. “There’s never been a time I can remember that I wasn’t performing or training.”

Sarah has moxie that someone her age ought not to have. She has an old soul, cut from the ilk of a troubled yet talented jazz singer who romanticizes the ghetto. And that’s not a bad thing, either. Any artist who has ever been worth anything is a tortured soul. But inside her also beats the heart of an optimistic flower child who doesn’t want to be bothered by serious people who wander around doing serious things. Instead, Sarah wants to sing and dance and play dress-up for the rest of her life. The love of a man is even secondary to this because, you see, she’s already found her lover – the stage.

KITTY

TITUS ANDRONICUS UPSTART CROW COLLECTIVE Through October 7 Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus is, quite literally, a bloody mess of a play. It’s hard to imagine that the ladies of the court would have enjoyed it in his day, but perhaps it was his equivalent of the Roman spectacle of throwing Christians into stadiums with lions. Very testicular.

It is literally politics as blood sport – something our pundits tell us we can do without, although no one, even today, has yet figured out how. So, why would a women’s theater group choose to do such a bloody, passionate play – one with only three female roles?

The group, upstart crow collective, is mounting Titus Andronicus through the auspices of Seattle University, where director Rosa Joshi and lead actor Ki Gottberg work in the theater department. This allfemale production includes a number of Seattle’s best actors.

Amy Thone plays Titus, a warrior who brings back a prize – Tamora, the queen of the Goths (Gottberg) – and her sons. Titus kills one of Tamora’s sons in captivity, thus earning her enmity. He also faces the unenviable task of choosing one of two brothers to be the next Roman emperor – Saturninus (Kelly Kitchens) or Bassianus (Rhonda Soikowski).

Once Saturninus is made emperor, he

tries to marry Titus’ daughter, Lavinia (Brenda Joyner), who spurns him for the younger Bassianus – thus leaving an opening for Tamora to become empress and wreak revenge on Titus. Tamora allows her randy sons (Peggy Gannon and Sarah Harlett) to ravish and destroy Lavinia while Tamora cheats on Saturninus with the diabolical Moor, Aaron (Nike Imoru). She also sets up two other sons of Titus to be killed for killing Bassianus and banishes another son (Tracy Hyland) for protecting Lavinia.

After that, all hell breaks loose. (After that?

Yup.) A young man told me after opening night that five minutes into the production, he had completely stopped noticing the actors were all women. Indeed, it’s bloody good theater. Joshi – with support of a minimalist but graveyard-like set by Carol Wolfe Clay, modern costuming by Kim Newton (suits for the Romans, colorful “native” garb for the Goths), a cheekily eerie “revenge light” and other moody lighting by Geoff Korf, and great sound from Dominic CodyKramers – keeps the play pounding along.

The emotive acting was riveting, with visuals you might have difficulty forgetting for quite a while. Get over to the Lee Center for the Arts on the Seattle University campus to see this show. For more information, go to www.upstartcrowcollective.blogspot. com.

between brilliance and insanity. “

KITTY HAS ARRIVED After Sarah left Le Faux she began performing at different venues on the Hill.

But despite having an aversion to a stage name, she decided it was necessary in order to compete with the fun and creative drag queen names that always seemed to get top billing on promotional posters. Brainstorming with Brian Daniel Peters, the man behind the drag sensation known as Mama Tits, the two agreed that “Kitty” was perfect.

“My original name was Kitty Corset, but during Pride Idol 2010, while serving on the panel of judges, the lovely hostess Gaysha Starr nicknamed me ‘Kitty Kitty Bang Bang’ and in turn renamed me,” Sarah says.

“It felt more genuine. I identified with it more. I thought it encompassed sexy and sassy. I’m a big stickler about nicknames coming to fruition naturally, and that was

mother and declared, ‘When I grew up I want to be a Diva!’”

Like most performers of her generation, Sarah was influenced by Whitney Houston, Madonna, Prince, and Janet Jackson. Britney Spears, however, was “very influential,” Sarah says.

Britney’s debut album, … Baby One More Time, was the first CD Sarah bought.

On some level, Sarah always knew that she was destined to be a known performer.

On what level that ultimately manifests remains to be seen – but sean watson

THE BIO QUEEN COMETH On January 1, 2010, without ever having visited the West Coast, Sarah arrived in Seattle with her three-legged cat, Pirate, who accompanied her all the way from Florida.

“Pirate,” she explains, “was ironically named Pirate prior to having a leg amputated due to an injury.”

“I reside in lower Leschi but basically live on the Hill,” Sarah says, referring to Capitol Hill, Seattle’s LGBTQ cultural center, known for its vibrant nightlife and accepting attitude of its residents.

“I live in a quaint, girly-decorated cottage in an abundant garden complete with a lily pond, fruits, flowers, veggies, and berries,” she says, adding, “I often joke with people that I live like Snow White.”

“My whole life seems to take place on the Hill,” she continues. “Capitol Hill provides a level of freedom for its inhabitants. We can get away with a lot.

The Hill is home to scenesters, the LGBTQ community, hippies, hipsters, and whoever else wants to plant their roots here.”

Because individual expression, something that is near and dear to Sarah, is welcomed and is the norm on Capitol Hill, Sarah says she “finds it so arrogant when outsiders have the audacity to make ignorant comments about how outlandish lovely Hill residents are.”

“They should realize where they are and respect it,” she says.

Within two weeks of moving to Seattle, Sarah was offered a job in Le Faux, a female- and celebrity-impersonation show at Julia’s on Broadway. As she tells it, “I saw the show on a Saturday and got the job the following Monday.”

She joined the cast as a dancer but would soon come to look at the Le Faux troupe as family. “Le Faux,” she recalls, “was my home away from home.”

During Seattle Pride 2010, local entertainer and Capitol Hill icon Robbie Turner (principal performer and longest running cast member at Le Faux) asked Sarah to sing an impromptu version of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” onstage at PrideFest, held in Seattle Center.

She accepted and belted out the words to the Judy Garland anthem. “I’ve never been in the background,” says Sarah. “I don’t belong there.”

It was at that very moment, Sarah says, she realized she doesn’t belong in the world of drag queens. Although she would not expound on the topic any further, she did say, “I learned the complications that come from being both a biological female and a live singer.”

Sarah developed local notoriety for her portrayal of Jessica Rabbit from the 1988 American comedy/mystery/noir film, Who Framed Roger Rabbit. “Le Faux was a beneficial learning experience and helped me to progress to the next level, both professionally and personally.”

the case with Kitty.”

Sarah, turned Kitty Kitty Bang Bang, still lightheartedly jokes about being a biological woman in a man’s – as in drag queens – world. “I’m a bio queen,” she proclaims. “A bio queen is a biological girl who dresses as big, fierce, glittery, wigged out, lashed, and conceptualized as an actual drag queen.”

“When I began doing celebrity impersonation I realized how hand-in-hand it came with the drag world,” says Sarah. “I’ve actually been a drag queen since I could play dress-up and Pretty Pretty Princess. I had

an amazing costume box treasure chest by the age of six. For my elementary school graduation I insisted on Britney Spears’ bumped hair style from her ‘Oops … I Did It Again’ video.” At that time I didn’t understand the concept of teasing and hairspray.

I remember being very disappointed that I couldn’t get my bump as big as Britney’s.”

“Early signs of a Queen,” she says, smiling.

‘FAME HAS A NEGATIVE CONNOTATION THESE DAYS’ When Sarah was four years old, she discovered Michael Jackson and was mesmerized. “My babysitter put on a video of his full-length live concert from the ‘Past, Present, Future’ tour. I had never seen anything like it before, let alone of that caliber,” she recalls. “His performance level is still unmatched by anyone. He was perhaps [my] favorite growing up, along with Celine Dion.”

While watching a VH1 Divas Live show, pre-school-aged Sarah learned the word “Diva.”

“I was watching a show with all the best female vocalists like Donna Summer and Aretha Franklin,” she says. “And the host kept calling them ‘Divas.’ I didn’t know what that meant yet, but I turned to my

at the moment, no one can deny that Kitty Kitty Bang Bang is a Capitol Hill celebrity and sought-after personality for any talent show, party, or event.

But don’t tell Sarah she has achieved fame status. She is far too intelligent for that kind of hot air.

“I think the word ‘fame’ has a negative connotation these days,” she says. “Many are quick to chase fame rather than artistic perfection. I believe true fame is earned by those who are the best at what they do.”

According to Sarah, Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Beyonce, and Lady Gaga have all achieved the highest levels of fame “because they are the best.”

“Yes, I have sought world domination in all my artistic pursuits and essentially the word ‘fame’ my whole life,” Sarah admits in a moment of introspection. “However, I remind myself frequently of my artistic process. It’s more important to concentrate on achieving the highest quality of artistic excellence and the fame will come on its own.”

“I do believe in local celebrities,” she adds. “Depending on your ‘scene’ I’m sure everyone would have a different opinion of who those celebrities are. I wouldn’t be quick to say ‘Sarah’s’ one, but Kitty certainly has a fabulous and supportive little fan

base growing!”

She says it’s humbling to overhear a stranger whisper, “That’s Kitty Kitty Bang Bang.”

“But there is a point where Kitty stops and Sarah begins,” she explains. “They are not the same. I don’t always want to be ‘on’ or entertaining, which is expected when you are a public persona in this business.” “ A lot of times I actually prefer being alone,” she says, but quickly realizing you can’t have your cake and eat it too, she adds, “However, people think they have access to you, whether it be a positive or negative.

It is part of the job to self-promote and to be accessible.”

One thing Sarah is known for is her amazing wardrobe. “I dress how I feel,” she proclaims. “I swear by thrifting! Fashion really has nothing to do with designer brands, rules, or money. [No] amount of clothing or makeup could ever be as fashionable as exuding confidence. It’s the sexiest accessory. Completes any outfit. And trust me, people can see confidence. They can feel it.”

She is a collector and huge fan of vintage clothing, accessories, and culture.

Hats, shoes, dresses, and earrings are among her favorite pieces to purchase.

“I’m particularly a fan of the classic and feminine flattering fashions of the 1950s and 1960s,” she says. “Jackie Kennedy has always been a big fashion icon of mine.”

With local celebrity, Sarah has found that while there may be some perks, there is also plenty of criticism. “I think people assume a lot about me from my persona, or what they see on Facebook,” she says.

“It’s easier to take a blow or be quick to verbally hurt or judge someone who’s on display or larger than life.”

“As much as I enjoy what I do, at the end of the day it is a business, an image, a market,” explains Sarah. “I’m trying to be as successful of a businesswoman as possible.”

Sarah admits she does not appreciate the assumptions and judgment of her private life that sometimes get back to her.

“I cannot allow such petty behavior to sway me,” she says defiantly. “At the end of the day, haters do not know me – they know Kitty.”

‘TRUE LOVE SURPASSES TITLES’ As a young adult Sarah was romantically obsessed with the idea of her wedding day and being a domestic, Southern, pin-up housewife and mother. But over time, she stopped believing in the institution of marriage.

“Time and circumstances may change that again,” she says, adding, “in fact I hope it does.”

“I believe true love surpasses titles, ceremonies, and paperwork,” Sarah explains.

“The divorce rates speak for themselves.

Heterosexual culture has ruined the sanctity of marriage on its own, yet conservatives insist that allowing homosexuals to wed will do just that. I appreciate the LGBTQ community for putting passion and fire back into what marriage could stand for.”

More predominant then her personal plan to marry or not, is Sarah’s belief in equal rights for all people.

“I certainly support marriage equality and have every intention of voting to Approve Referendum 74,” she proclaims.

“It’s frightening to think a government has boundaries and regulations on love. It just seems absurd to me.”

MMMM, GUYS! “I’ve always had some mystic way of manifesting extreme similarities in my guys,” Sarah tells me as we delve into the deep waters of sexuality and likes and dislikes of men. “My type is rather specific. It’s see kitty page 33

Who’s the greatest?

Cat Power, Little Big Town highlight this month’s new releases

by Chris Azzopardi SGN Contributing Writer

LITTLE BIG TOWN TORNADO One of country’s greatest contemporary bands is done with playing secCAT POWER ond fiddle to the big dogs – their fifth SUN The artist who once wanted to be “the album bids for merited mainstream greatest” isn’t just imagining it now – she’s acclaim, without sacrificing the sigliving it. The self-confidence infusing Cat nature sound the Grammy-nominated Power’s first album of original material in six years – self-produced and featuring beats from Beastie Boys’ producer Philippe Zdar – struts defiance and a life-affirming awakening, rather than the fragility and vulnerability displayed on her earlier releases. Now Power (née Chan Marshall) is the guiding light she probably could’ve used a few years back when dealing with health troubles and a breakup. With a fresh outlook on life, a new Lesbian hairstyle, and some electrojolts shocking her trademark piano/guitar lushness, she brings us Sun, an exhilarating flood of emotions that pulls from life experiences and a politically and socially aware worldview. “Ruin” rips into a passive nation of greed, while “Peace and Love,” which intros with an ethereal tone that’s a throwback to her earlier sound, spouts off angrily and triumphantly via a trip-hop beat. The real gem, however, is the youth-empowerment anthem “Nothin’ But Time,” a song that’s so good, so epic – quartet established with 2005’s The Road especially as it reaches its liberating climax to Here. “Pavement Ends,” a raucous rockwith Iggy Pop – it never feels as long as its abilly-fashioned song that kicks off Torna11 minutes. “It’s up to you to be like no- do, encourages folks to “let the good times body,” Power insists. In other words: follow roll.” That’s the plan on “Pontoon,” the lead single that’s become a summer staple with her example.

The gothglam throwback comes five years after CexCells, their initial venture into synth-pop. Bright Black Heaven looks to David Bowie, Erasure, and Depeche Mode for a decent run of songs that are casually listenable, though in a style so dated that they probably found these tracks in the same closet as their fishnets and leather pants. That’s not necessarily a bad thing: “The Witness” has the swagger of an Adam Lambert song, and “Cold War” is as heartfelt as Andy Bell asking for a little respect.

STARS THE NORTH The hipster darlings known as Stars, a Montreal quintet with six albums to their name, lean heavily on the electro new-wave sound they’ve been toying with, especially on their 2010 album The Five Ghosts. “The Theory of Relativity” pops with a synth-y effervescence that has Torquil Campbell and Amy Millan tag-teaming Human League-style on this romantic charmer. Despite some remarkable moments, such as “Hold On When You Get Love and Let Go When You Give It,” and a solo from Millan, “Lights Changing Colour,” which bleeds ’80s nostalgia – the album slogs in its schmaltzy final third, because by then this girl-guy drama is about as tired as they sound.

shows the band to be more than just a down-home brand; they’ve got some rock running through them, as the bark of “Front Porch Thing” also demonstrates. They don’t abandon their unrivaled four-part harmonies, which have always given them the edge over lesser acts such as Lady Antebellum, and “Can’t Go Back” takes full advantage of those.

Lucy Wainwright Roche a hit at Triple Door

by Mercy Moosemuzzle SGN A&E Writer LUCY WAINWRIGHT ROCHE Reality joined Mercy for Lucy Wainwright Roche at the Triple Door September 6. The daughter of musicians Loudon Wainwright III and Susan “Suzzy” Roche has good genes and a powerful voice. The evening consisted of nice folk originals. Reality said, “I forgot how funny she is.” She has a new CD, There’s a Last Time for Everything, coming out this fall.

High points were “Middle of the Night,” “Next Best Western,” “Statesville,” “Open Season,” and the new album’s title song.

BELA FLECK AND MARCUS ROBERTS TRIO Reality also went to see Bela Fleck and the Marcus Roberts Trio at Jazz Alley September 5. They have a new CD, Across the Imaginary Divide. Fleck’s banjo was phenomenal. Roberts’ piano was delicious.

Drums by Jason Marsalis were rhythmic.

Rodney Jordan’s bass was funky. Reality liked how the banjo and piano played off each other.

They opened with the slow “That Old Thing,” featuring piano and banjo. “Topeka” was upbeat and had solos by Fleck and Roberts. “Petunia” returned to slow and

featured Bela and Marcus.

Piano and banjo ornamented “Sunlight,” which was also slow. “Small Potatoes” featured Roberts and Fleck. “Some Roads Lead Home” was fast and had solos by Bela, Marcus, Jason, and Rodney. Reality said, “I’m glad I didn’t miss that bass solo.”

“Heart of Blues” was slow and featured bass, piano and banjo. “Across the Imaginary Divide” was fast and had solos by Fleck, Roberts, and Marsalis. Reality said, “Bela puts them through their paces. They have to run to keep up with him.” Closing the night was “Cheeseballs in Cowtown,” with banjo, piano, and drums.

CHELY WRIGHT: WISH ME AWAY Mercy enjoyed the new documentary Chely Wright: Wish Me Away. Wright is the first major country and western star to come out as a Lesbian. The film includes interviews with her father, brother, sister, niece, nephew, and aunt, who were all supportive.

Only Chely’s mother never made peace with her being Gay. Wright talks about moving to New York after 19 years in Nashville, a city that has never really welcomed her back. There is footage from the Today Show and Oprah, as well as the Chicago Gay Pride Fair, where Chely was grand marshal.

Wright, who has a partner, recently sang with the Seattle Women’s Chorus.

Lucy Wainwright Roche

A DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT DIRECTION Mercy found Margaret Mann’s A Dramatically Different Direction engrossing.

Mann, a biracial Lesbian, has used a wheelchair since a small blood vessel in her spinal cord burst in 1997. Her Buddhist perspective helped her deal with her disability. She describes her experience taking on such bureaucracies as the Social Security Administration. The memoir is moving and funny.

TURTLE SEASON Mercy enjoyed Miriam Black’s novel Turtle Season. Anna Simon has been married for 30 years. After her husband dies, she learns a disturbing secret about him. She goes back to school and makes a documentary about the Rainbow City Band. There she meets Carla, a drummer, who she falls in love with. The Seattle setting is knowingly drawn and the sex scenes are fun in this warmhearted novel.

Celebrating 39 Years!

by Albert Rodriguez SGN A&E Writer Green Day loves Seattle. This is a fact, since the Grammy-winning trio open their second major tour here in three years. The band – vocalist/guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt, and drummer Tré Cool – will perform the first date of their North American tour at the Paramount Theatre on November 26. Green Day, who also launched 2009’s “21st Century Breakdown World Tour” at Key Arena, will hit the road this fall to support their trilogy album project, ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, and ¡Tré!, to be released separately between September 25 and January 15. Tickets for the Paramount concert went on sale September 14, and by now they’re probably gone. But log onto www.aeglive.com for the possibility of any remaining seats. More details on the Green Day tour launch coming in the weeks ahead.

As promised, that awesome tigress of rock, Shirley Manson, is my very special guest in “The Music Lounge” next week.

The Garbage frontwoman spoke with me by phone recently from her L.A. digs, prior to the group heading out for a tour that includes stops in Mexico, South America, and Europe, as well as here in the states. They’ll resume performances after the holidays with five dates in Australia. Manson was

as cool as you’d expect her to be, and really down to earth. She takes a firm stance on Gay marriage, spoke highly of Beyonce, discussed her shoe collection, and talked about playing on stage with Kings of Leon and her idol, Chrissie Hynde. It’s a great interview with an incredibly fabulous woman, so don’t miss next week’s issue. Incidentally, the band’s Showbox SoDo appearance is close to selling out. Ticket information is available at www.showboxonline.com.

Rihanna is finally coming to the Emerald City. After canceling a White River Amphitheatre performance a few years back, which was supposed to be the start of her tour, she’s been nice enough to add Seattle to her 2013 live outing. The Barbadian hitmaker, who has released four consecutive Top 10 albums – Good Girl Gone Bad, Rated R, Loud, and last year’s Talk That Talk – is bringing the “Rihanna Diamonds World Tour” to Key Arena on April 3. The 27-city North American itinerary is likely to be followed with performances in Europe and elsewhere. “We Found Love,” “Rude Boy,” “Only Girl (in the World),” “Don’t Stop the Music,” “Umbrella,” “Disturbia,” and “S.O.S.” are just some of the songs that Rihanna will probably include in her show. Tickets for the Seattle concert, priced between $36.50 and $122, go on sale

and didn’t get. I got this weird part with no lines. All I do is smoke. On the other side of the desk is a young actress with red hair. We are doing a low budget pilot for an obscure science fiction show about alien abduction, if you can believe it. Well, a gig is a gig. I’m getting paid. Scale, I think.

“I’m feeling pretty dumb, just standing there like a statue listening to the red-haired actress talk about someone called Spooky Mulder. I look at the cabinet beside me, the top just below my shoulder. I think, ‘If this were really me, would I stand here as if I were part of the scenery?’ which of course I was. ‘What’s to lose,’ I think. So I stretch my elbow across the top of the cabinet, cross my feet, and watch the action from this new position, a praying mantis with a cigarette.

An icon was born. You can buy the trading card if you want.”

These are the words of William B. Davis, better known (at least here in the States) as the “Smoking Man” or the “Cancer Man” from the hit FOX-TV show The XFiles, reading from his newly published book, Where There’s Smoke: Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man, at Elliot Bay Book Company on Saturday, September 8.

His book is a memoir about his life before, during, and after The X-Files. As he reads from the preface and a chapter called “The Worst Line – Ever,” one realizes his voice hasn’t changed a bit since the run of the show – it’s an iconic and mysterious voice that, even when he’s cracking jokes, still instills fear.

Dead Zone, Look Who’s Talking, 21 Jump Street, MacGyver, Poltergeist: The Legacy, Smallville, Stargate SG-1, and Possession.

He taught theater arts at several Canadian schools and colleges including Bishop’s University in Quebec, served as an assistant director at the National Theatre of Great Britain under Laurence Olivier, and founded the William Davis Centre for Actors’ Study in Vancouver.

In his book’s preface, Davis says that life may indeed be simply a series of random events.

“I auditioned for a small role, didn’t get it, and got an even smaller role with no lines.

If you do that, you, too, can become a television star. Life is random. David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson became stars by chance. That is not to say they weren’t and aren’t worthy. They are talented actors and I wish them the best. But there are hundreds of other talented actors who were not so lucky,” writes Davis.

A LIFE IN THEATER Davis is far more than just the chainsmoking enigma he played on television, however. “I had a life before I got to The X-Files – what can I say?” Davis told attendees. His memoir is not just a personal story, but an erudite document on the history of professional and academic Canadian theater, to which the former child actor, now 74, has devoted much of his life.

In person, Davis comes off as both an expert actor/director and a well-spoken intellectual. His book has a wealth of theater history in it, simply because he helped make that that history. He began his career in 1949, acting in radio dramas and summerstock theater, and has since acted in dozens of TV shows and movies, including The

by Dostoevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov.

In his memoir, Davis recalls that when he first became a celebrity, passers-by would often ask him if he had a cigarette. Some fans know that Davis was an ex-smoker who smoked herbal cigarettes on set, but they might be surprised to learn that for the first few episodes of the series, Davis smoked real cigarettes.

He told attendees that after a few shows, when he was sitting at home, he’d find himself very excited for the next episode – and not just because of the paycheck. So the actor made the switch to herbal cigarettes.

If you liked The X-Files, read this book – the truth, as they say, is in here. But if you’re just a fan of theater or acting in general, there’s plenty for you here as well. Having been in the business for over six decades, Davis is a true master of his craft.

In addition to picking up his book, you can catch Davis in his newest TV show, Continuum, a Canadian science fiction series that will soon be picked up by the Syfy Channel for U.S. viewers.

mould

continued from cover profile. Openly Gay, Mould has enjoyed success as both a bandleader (for Sugar as well as for Hüsker Dü) and as a solo performer, while often collaborating with colleagues on live shows and benefit fundraisers – he co-organized a Freedom to Marry concert several years ago. One of the first alt-rockers to come out, back in 1990, the acclaimed singer-songwriter-guitarist proudly associates himself with the bear community. Mould is now touring his latest album, Silver Age, with a Showbox Market show scheduled for September 18 (details at www.showboxonline.com). We recently caught up with him via e-mail, and here’s what the legendary Bob Mould got off his bear-y chest inside “The Music Lounge.”

Rodriguez: Do you have any fond memories of playing in Seattle over the years?

Mould: Lots of Seattle memories. July 1981 at Gorilla Room, WREX, and Showbox (where I’ll be playing 30 years later!).

November 1989 at Moore Theatre with the Pixies. Many visits to KEXP. Most recently,

hanging with friends at Pony.

Rodriguez: Give us a little background on the new album, Silver Age. Is this a concept album, or do any of the songs reflect recent events in your life?

Mould: It’s a 10-song, 38-minute blast of rock guitars, pop melodies, and simple words. That’s as conceptual as it gets!

Rodriguez: For those who haven’t seen you perform live, do you play a mixture of music from both your solo and band careers?

Mould: The upcoming rock band tour is a mix of past and present. Me and the guys (Jason Narducy and Jon Wurster) will be playing 1992’s Copper Blue album start to finish, selections from this year’s Silver Age album, as well as a handful of staples from my solo and early songbooks.

Rodriguez: Do the bears come out in full force to your live shows? How about cubs?

Mould: The bears represent, and the cubs always cause mischief – for me and the other bears.

Rodriguez: How many songs from Silver Age do you anticipate appearing on the Seattle set list?

Mould: We played five songs from Sil-

w e e k o f S e p t e m b e r 14 - S e p t e m b e r 2 0

ARIES (March 20 – April 19): Do not take conflicts with authority personally. Rash outbursts will only make things worse. It’s hard not to react and dig your heels in, but you really need to be empathetic and strategic. Discuss your approach with a friend before you do anything!

TAURUS (April 20 – May 20): Domesticity suits you especially well now. Find ways to economize and you’ll be amazed at how much you can save. That does not mean taking an advantage of a big sale unless it’s for something you really need.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 20): Whatever you invest time, money, or energy into will explode. That would be bad for finances but great for creativity. You’re sure to outrage someone (if not everyone). Stay clear on your values and priorities to use that power productively.

CANCER (June 21 – July 22): Push your mind in new directions. It will take both instinct and logic to get through intellectual barriers. What traditions are holding you back? Can you make them a foundation rather than an obstacle? Don’t sell yourself short. Take the challenge and push yourself!

LEO (July 23 – August 22): A slap up against your limitations could lead to doom and gloom. Better to use that as a key to empathy with the limits and frailties of others.

That in turn could help you to transcend some limitations, though probably not the same ones.

VIRGO (August 23 – September 22): Worrying about money problems can undermine your relationship. Discussing them frankly and not dramatically with your partner can strengthen it. Wild crazy sex helps, too, but don’t leave the serious issues under the rug.

LIBRA (September 23 – October 22): Dreams can come true, but not just by dreaming. Balance that fairy-dusted right side of your brain with some good solid logic, realworld planning, and a budget that you can stick to!

SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21): Stay calm through the upsets of work, commuting, and the annoying fidgets of people nearby. The real problem is within you. So is the solution. Meditation and exercise can lift your mind from petty bothers to stronger purpose and foresight.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 20): It is not your job to correct the idiocy of others. Read the story of Br’er Rabbit and the Tar Baby. Knowing you’re right is enough. Or are you? Listen to new ideas that could open your way of thinking. Still, don’t argue!

CAPRICORN (December 21 – January 19): Getting due credit may take some selfpromotion. Don’t push too hard, but don’t be shy. For LGBT folks, lines between friends and family can be vague. Arguing with a friend can clarify the questions, but don’t rush too quickly to an answer.

AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18): Efforts at diplomatic outreach are likely to stumble over your now-more-than-usual impulsive frankness. With careful, rapid thought your efforts at wit can prove charming. Think ahead! If you can’t avoid disputes with authority, at least avoid a full-frontal attack.

PISCES (February 19 – March 19): Loyalties to your group may clash with your ideals. An open mind and closed mouth make a powerful combination. The best way not to blurt out secrets is to keep the conversation on other topics.

Editor’s note: Jack Fertig, aka Sister Boom Boom, passed away on August 5.

ver Age last month in Europe. We may add more for the U.S. tour.

Rodriguez: Do you follow any current pop or rock artists?

Mould: My current faves are Bear in Heaven, Chromatics, Eternal Summers, Violens.

Rodriguez: Nirvana cited your former band Husker Du as one of their influences.

Were you a fan of Nirvana?

Mould: Yes. I was on the long list of potential producers for Nevermind. I’m glad Butch Vig got the call – the album turned out great, and it definitely changed the course of popular music. If not for that album, I doubt we’d be having this conversation.

Rodriguez: Let’s talk men. Who would you say is the sexiest rock star at the moment?

Mould: Babydaddy of Scissor Sisters. Is it OK to say that about a friend?

Rodriguez: Gay marriage is on the verge of becoming law by a statewide vote in November. If it does pass, what song would you dedicate to all of our same-sex couples here in Washington state?

Mould: “We Are the Champions” by Queen.

Rodriguez: You’ve collaborated quite a bit with Foo Fighters. Are there more collaborations with them or other artists in the near future?

Mould: I hope there will be more collaborations with Dave [Grohl] and the guys in the future. I don’t want to wear out my welcome, but we sure have fun when we play music together. I’ve done a couple casual things with Ben Gibbard, and it would be cool to work together on something after he’s done promoting his new album.

Rodriguez: Who’s your favorite female musician of all-time, preferably someone still alive?

Mould: Nico left us many years ago.

Shirley Manson of Garbage is awesome, Bethany Cosentino of Best Coast is super cool, and it was a thrill to meet Joan Jett last October.

Rodriguez: What does the remainder of 2012 look like for Bob Mould?

Mould: U.S. tour, promotional work, and plenty of BLOWOFF DJ events around the country. I am thrilled (and lucky) to be so busy!

tomlin

continued from cover now. Tomlin also dished on her 40-plus-year partnership and what we can expect from her latest sitcom character – Lillie Mae on Malibu Country (premiering November 2 on ABC and starring Reba McEntire).

Azzopardi: Of all your iconic characters, do you have a favorite?

Tomlin: They’re like kids. You don’t show partiality. It just seems wrong.

Azzopardi: Would you want to be friends with any of them?

Tomlin: Let me think. You’re right. Golly – they’re bad news. [laughs] I don’t know if I want to be friends with any of them!

This is a startling awakening. No one’s ever asked me that question. I was running through them really quickly and I thought, “Well, that one would be a handful, and that one is a high-maintenance relationship ...”

Azzopardi: Right! Could you imagine being friends with Edith Ann? Tomlin: Imagine having to be her mother! I had an Edith Ann puppet with eyes and a tongue – and everything was animatronics – and we never did anything with her, but I was so wanting a kids’ show starring Edith Ann. Anyway, so she sits in a big old box right now. Poor thing. She’s probably all deteriorated. But they sculpted the puppet head after me – the way I perform her – and it had a vague resemblance to me. It was always sort of spooky. [laughs] Azzopardi: So, let me get this straight: Your characters are needy and they scare the hell out of you. You might want to rethink your whole career, Lily.

Tomlin: [laughs] Oh gosh. This has been revelatory. This one question is something I had never heard in my life and never even contemplated.

Azzopardi: You and your partner, Jane Wagner, have been together for more than 40 years, right?

Tomlin: Yeah. It’s been – what is this?

2012? I have to think back. It’s 41 years, but it’ll be 42 years in March.

Azzopardi: Back then, when you realized you were Gay, people didn’t even acknowledge it. Gay was taboo. Do you think that’s part of the reason you and Jane have been together so long but haven’t married?

Because you never expected to?

Tomlin: No, I don’t think so. I guess it doesn’t mean that much. With the concept of marriage, I’ve been a little too flippant and I’ve said things like, “I was hoping the Gay community would come up with a better idea than imitating heterosexual marriage.” [laughs] But no, I know plenty of people who married and who are pleased about it and are happy. I guess if we had any kids, it would mean something more. Neither of us is religious, so that means nothing to us. I’m proud and happy for it, for people who want to be married. I suppose symbolically it would’ve been nice if we had gotten married for anybody who’s interested.

Azzopardi: You talk about Jane as your partner to the press often now. Was that always the case?

Tomlin: I used to talk about her all the time. I just talked about it naturally, but in those days people just did not write that way. When I was on the cover of Time in ’77, my publicist had almost pulled off the old two-cover coup where you get Newsweek and Time. It’s not even important anymore. For both stories, Jane would be there.

It was nothing.

One story, I can’t remember which one, said, “Lily lives alone in the Hollywood Hills.” Another one said that we shared a house – me and writer Jane Wagner. They knew we were a couple. They used to protect us. The journalists would protect us just like they would protect politicians in the old days.

Azzopardi: You probably never imagined you’d be talking to Gay publications like you do so often now. Is that different for you?

Tomlin: Yeah, of course it is. We had The Advocate. Vito Russo, who was my good friend, did a piece on me in The Advocate.

What year was that? Probably sometime in the ’70s. And he didn’t want to out me in a really big way that would bring any kind of repercussions on me at that time, because I was very, very popular from Laugh-In. I said to him, “Look, I want to do the piece with The Advocate but I don’t want to lie.

It’s too embarrassing and too awkward to do that.” I said, “I’m leaving it up to you. I’m not going to try to influence whatever you do.”

So in the piece, I do say to him, “Look, if we don’t talk about the Gay issue it’s going to look very strange.” And he kept writing in that vein. But it was never explicit – of course, I’d get a lot of flack for it, a lot of heat. People weren’t that … I want to say hip.

Azzopardi: Isn’t it amazing how much progress we’ve made since then?

Tomlin: It’s been remarkable. I mean, it’s not enough if it’s still an issue, but yeah – I’ve been just really dazzled by the activism and the refusal to disappear and be invisible. But I’ll tell you: You miss a little bit of repression, just on the sexy side. The sneaking around. Any kind of taboo is always a little more titillating.

Azzopardi: Your upcoming series, Malibu Country, features a flamboyant record executive played by Jai Rodriguez (Queer Eye for the Straight Guy) and a next-door neighbor who’s Gay. Were you surprised that a show starring Reba McEntire, whose fan base tends to be ultraconservative, was so Gay and progressive?

Tomlin: Yeah, and I’m not sure where they’re going to take the kid next door, but I hope Lillie Mae gets very political. I’ve sort of pitched that to them, to go in that direction with my character. She’s just more enlightened than Reba, even though she’s Reba’s mother. She’s just more open and expansive, where Reba is a little more Nashville and shut down. She’ll definitely be more progressive.

Azzopardi: So your character’s name isn’t Shirley anymore?

Tomlin: I changed it. It’s Lillie Mae. I changed it to my mother’s name.

Celebrating 39 Years!

Azzopardi: What was it about the character that interested you? The gray wig?

Tomlin: [laughs] I built that wig! I had that wig made. Wigs always interest me.

Haven’t you ever heard of Wigstock? I’m kidding. I have a wig room – I have at least 50 to 70 wigs. I’m kind of a wig queen.

You know, first of all, Reba. I’m not close friends with Reba or anything, but my brother lives in Nashville, and my mother and dad are both buried in Nashville, and so having those Southern roots, I know the culture very well. I’ve always liked Reba, but then I saw her in Annie Get Your Gun in ’99 and she was drop-dead brilliant.

People still talk about it. She was so alive in that role. I’ve never forgotten that. And because in the pilot Lillie Mae smokes dope, I thought this is a great chance to do an older person who’s just really open to everything.

Azzopardi: Word is that you’re retiring after this series, which you mentioned during the recent Television Critics Association panel. Is that true?

Tomlin: I said it as a joke. Somebody in the audience asked me a question, something about playing a woman of a certain age – it was hard to hear. Maybe they were talking about how lately I’ve played all these mothers – I’m playing Lisa Kudrow’s mother on Web Therapy and I just did a movie playing Tina Fey’s mother. I also played McGee’s grandmother on NCIS. [The person asked] something about playing women of a certain age, so I answered it as Edith Ann first and then I said, “Don’t be surprised if this is the last project I do before I go to the motion-picture home.” I was just kidding around.

Azzopardi: So you’re not retiring anytime soon?

Tomlin: I don’t plan to.

Azzopardi: You come from a generation of female comedians that had a very familyoriented style of comedy. What’s your take on this new wave of female comedians both in film and in stand-up who are just as vulgar and crass as men?

Tomlin: Guys have done it forever and so the girls just leveled the playing field. I like a much more cerebral kind of comedy.

Well, sort of cerebral. But I still have no problem with it. I’m glad to see those girls make successful comedy. Because in the old days – I mean, Gilda [Radner] never got the chance to do the films that the boys did from SNL. I’m glad that these girls break that taboo, that obstacle that people have put up in front of them for years.

I remember I used to do a ’50s teenager at a school dance and the first time I did it at the Ice House in Pasadena – this would be like ’71 or ’72, right after I got on LaughIn – and [I said] “boner.” And the owner of the Ice House was beside himself. He said, “Don’t ever use that language on this stage again.” The guys did anything they wanted, but they did not want to see women talking about anything that was the least bit – I don’t know – human. [laughs] I didn’t listen.

continued from page 29 hard to find guys who are an equal mix of pretty boy and dominant man. From early on I had a thing for pretty, endogenous, feminine boys.”

“The first boy I ever had a crush on had beautiful long ginger hair,” she recalls. “My fetish for long hair has never left me since.”

When asked about her luck on the dating scene, Sarah smiles demurely. “Let’s just say that in the past year I consecutively dated three guys with the same exact birthday, shoulder-length hair, each tatted, in a band, and an avid consumer of whiskey and good marijuana.”

“More importantly,” Sarah says in a serious tone, “they all had swagger.”

“Swagger and personality trump all that superficial shit,” she continues. “I’ve experienced how gorgeous someone becomes in my eyes when their humor and personalities take hold. I don’t use the word ‘man’ lightly.

I use to date boys. Bad boys. And they’re ev-

ery bit as dangerous and exciting as warned.

But boys give you feelings – men show you actions. Now that I’ve dated a gentleman I’m never going back.”

Sarah has found that, aside from her love of fashion and men, she’s got a few more things in common with the LGBTQ community as well. “I have a very big and outgoing personality, along with an overt and expressive sexuality,” she says. “Big is embraced in the LGBTQ community. Sexuality is especially.”

“I was aware of my extreme sexual nature as early as six,” Sarah recalls. “I remember finding it naughty to watch sexually scandalous Prince and Madonna music videos.

I’d change the station when someone would enter the room.”

“It’s not wrong to be sexy,” she says. “As a woman, that’s my right. I take full ownership of it now while still trying to sexually liberate myself from society’s opinions.

There’s a drastic difference in being sexual and being promiscuous. There’s a difference in being a freak versus being a slut. I am a fan and big believer of monogamy.”

“Sex, sexy, sexuality is such an inescapable aspect of both my career and personal life,” Sarah explains. “There’d be no Jessica Rabbit, Marilyn Monroe, or Kitty Kitty without the presence of ‘sex.’ Interestingly enough, it seems Lady Gaga, the LGBTQ community and Jessica Rabbit have all expressed the same idea. I was born/drawn this way!”

THE CAT WHISPERER To keep her feet on the ground, Sarah tells me she repeats the phrase “one day at a time” frequently. “It keeps me from getting overwhelmed with the tribulations of everyday life,” she says. “As long as I’m taking action, evolving and progressing daily, that is all I can ask of myself.”

Sarah says she finds it necessary that humanity begin being honest, supportive, and uplifting of one another. “I am a firm believer in taking ownership for all you are,” she says. “When you do, no one can touch you.

Chin up, kittens. There is hope and health in tomorrow.”

“I’ve struggled with emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, extreme depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, and plenty of insecurities,” she admits. “I have learned that it is hard work but very possible to transcend and recover from your past or current circumstances.”

“Progress is essential,” says Sarah.

“When you cease to create as an artist, you die.”

At the end of the day, Sarah McKenzieDuckworth – the woman and artist behind Kitty Kitty Bang Bang – lives her life unapologetically.

“I prefer top shelf whiskey and tend to have a mouth on me like a sailor, as any lady should,” she says, as if she is standing at a podium addressing her detractors. “I am a big conspiracy theorist and fan of history.

I’m fascinated by religion and science. I’m obsessed with the stars and take an interest in astronomy.”

“I’ve never had a tattoo or dyed my hair,” she continues. “When I was younger I insisted on my parents calling me Ariel, as in The Little Mermaid, for a week. And what a lot of people don’t know is that I’m a pretty sick rapper!”

Also, “I’m sort of a secret cat whisperer,” Sarah tells me. “They’re just drawn to me.

I joke that I will die a crazy cat lady. I can see the headlines now: ‘Kitty with all her kitties!’ I’m already pretty close to Michelle Pfeiffer’s Catwoman, so I’m already on my way.”
