About Bruce Vilanch

Bruce began as a child model for Lane Bryant, but when his initial efforts as an actor came to naught, he became an entertainment writer for the Chicago Tribune instead.

Impressed by his review of her cabaret performance in 1970, Bette Midler hired him to punch up her act where he gave birth to Midler’s famed Sophie Tucker jokes. He has maintained his connection with Midler through the years.

Bruce made his feature debut as a dress manufacturer in "Mahogany' (1975), starring Diana Ross.

Vilanch began contributing to Academy Awards telecasts in 1989 and graduated to head writer in 2000. He scripted most of the Academy Awards telecasts over the last decade, two of which won Emmys.

Bruce stepped into the also-very-large shoes of Edna Turnblad in the Broadway smash hit, HAIRSPRAY, a role originated by Harvey Fierstein.

The GLBA is thrilled to ”Get Bruce” for this rare appearance benefiting the Student Scholarship Fund for GLBT students in Santa Barbara!
