English performer and activist Reginald Bundy, better known as Regina Fong, was BOTD in 1946. He trained as a dancer, working as a dresser in London theatres and later as a dancer in West End musicals throughout the 1970s. He also appeared in the films Oh What a Lovely War!, The Slipper and the Rose and Englebert with the Young Generation. In 1985, he developed the persona Regina Fong, a Romanoff princess who escaped to England during the Russian Revolution, settling at Windsor Castle under the protection of the British Royal family. Fong made regular appearances at London gay bars The Black Cap and the Royal Vauxhall Tavern, becoming a fixture of London’s gay scene throughout the 1980s. Disliking the term “drag queen”, Fong referred to herself as a “cabaret artiste”, insisting on the prefix “Her Imperial Highness”. Bundy developed the Fong persona into the stage show The Last of the Romanoffs, performing at the Edinburgh Festival and at London’s Bloomsbury Theatre. A frequent collaborator with playwright Neil Bartlett, he also appeared (as Fong) in stage and radio adaptations of A Vision of Love Revealed in Sleep and Night After Night. Less successful was Fong’s tenure as a presenter on the critically-derided 1989 TV show Club X, which was cancelled after its first season. A committed campaigner for HIV/AIDS charities, Bundy appeared as Fong in the 1993 musical fundraiser Elegies for Angels, Punks and Raging Queens, and made numerous appearances with Ian McKellen to raise funds for the gay lobby group Stonewall. He died of cancer in 2003, aged 56.
