Biography

Frank Marino always knew he would become a star, even as a small child, growing up in New York. What he didn’t realize was that he’d have to be dressed up in glittering Bob Mackie gowns, and strapped into towering Manolo Blahnik stilettos to do so. And that’s before he gets into his makeup, wigs and jewelry! “The ladder of success was even harder to climb wearing high heels!” Marino wittily quips.

After 25 years as the star of “An Evening at La Cage”, and never at a loss for words, Marino is an accomplished author, newscaster, columnist, spokesperson, and America’s favorite male actress. His first book, His Majesty, the Queen, was an immediate bestseller. His movie debut in the film Miss Congeniality 2 where he can be seen co-starring alongside Sandra Bullock was a blockbuster hit as well. Not to mention his award winning guest starring role in the hit Off-Broadway play “Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding.”

In 2005, Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman proclaimed February 1st, to be “Frank Marino Day.” Frank also received a Key to the City, has a street, Frank Marino
