Biography

Shannon stood {{height|ft=6|in=5}} in his heels and considered himself "a stand-up comic in a dress", who relished startling tourists with one-liners at Finocchio's.[4] To the American television audience, Shannon was best known for portraying female impersonator Beverly LaSalle in three episodes of the CBS sitcom All in the Family. The episodes in which he appears are "Archie the Hero" (1975), "Beverly Rides Again" (1976), and "Edith's Crisis of Faith, Part 1" (1977). The character represented somewhat of a breakthrough, being the first instance of a drag queen being portrayed in a sympathetic light on U.S. television.{{citation needed|date=November 2017}} On February 13, 1984 Shannon died of a heart attack at the age of 45 at Mission Emergency Hospital in San Francisco.[4][5]
