The film is based in the assisted living facility Crisp resided in during her later years, and features fans of Crisp including Gene Simmons. Another documentary about Crisp, titled Bunny and made by Hunter Ray Barker was released in 2019. In 1994, she was the subject of a documentary titled The Goddess Bunny, directed by Nick Bougas. Crisp claims she was "paid nothing from the start" for her roles in music videos. She later made an appearance in the music video for " The Dope Show" by Marilyn Manson. She made her acting debut as Charlean in the 1986 film Hollywood Vice Squad. Ĭrisp began pursuing a career in the entertainment industry immediately after graduating from high school. Her mother was deeply religious and rejected her gender identity, insisting on calling Crisp by her birth name, although Crisp would return to live with her mother at times during her adult life. Crisp returned to her mother's home during her teens, coming out as a trans woman aged 14. She routinely endured physical and sexual abuse from members of her foster care families largely due to her gender identity and disability. Crisp lived in various foster homes for disabled children following the divorce of her parents. Crisp used a wheelchair throughout her life. Crisp was subject to the malpractice of multiple doctors resulting in the further disfigurement of her body. She contracted polio soon after her birth. After meeting fellow drag queen Glen Meadmore on the set of Hollywood Vice Squad, Crisp would become his friend and collaborator. She performed as a drag queen during evenings. Ĭrisp was assigned male at birth and later began presenting as a transgender woman in the late 1970s. For instance, in 2018, Crisp claimed to have participated in the first Paralympic Games in 1974, but no such event took place that year in Los Angeles, where Crisp was based at the time. Much of what is known of Crisp's life comes from her own retellings of events, some of which were fabricated. Sandie Crisp was born on Janu in Santa Monica, California to John Wesley Baima, an Italian lawyer and Betty Baima, a half- Cherokee secretary.
