Hitchcock secret cameo in drag

Who knew? I am a Hitchcock fan and I have seen this film dozens of times and never noticed. I can't believe there is any doubt.

Hitchcock was either a transvestite or transgender. Who knows what he did in private, but he obviously used his icy blondes as his avatars, dressing and fussing with them like Barbies. Becoming enraged when they rebelled against his controlling them.

He is quoted as saying if he hadn't met his beloved wife he might well have become a 'poofter'. Perhaps a joking attempt to come out years before it was acceptable.

Bizarre post, OP. Your link completely refutes the notion entirely, as you must have known.

Link says the actress is Jesslyn Fax.

Hitch was known to dress in drag to amuse. Perhaps he used her because of her resemblance. It seems like something he would do.

Can some classic film fans go into the history of men in drag in train movies? Is there some kind of tradition for this or is it a more recent development? I've been watching some movies (and a rerun of Laverne & Shirley) set on trains recently and have noticed this trope.

That’s Jesselyn Fax, who also played Miss Hearing Aids in Rear Window. She does bear a striking resemblance to Hitchcock in drag. I wonder if that’s why he chose her? Lol.

Here’s Hitch in drag.
