While some women find their beauty fading as they approach 40, award-winning comedienne Margaret Cho has only just begun to feel beautiful — at 39.
Raised in San Francisco by Korean parents (her father is a joke-writer) and neighboring drag queens, Margaret Cho was never the “All-American Girl,” according to her 1999 one-woman show-turned record-breaking concert film and best-selling book “I’m The One That I Want.” In fact, on this and subsequent tours: “Notorious C.H.O.” (2001), “Revolution” (2003) “Assassin” (2005) and “The Sensuous Woman” (2006), Cho’s personal struggles with racial identity, queerness and distorted body image are gravely evident in her humorous routines.
