Anyone have any information on him? Supposedly he was a female impersonator but besides the small listing of films he was in I wasn't able to find any biographical information on him. Any help is appreciated.

He appeared in a Stan Laurel directed movie, "Chasing the Chaser" as a cross-dressing detective. After his movie days, he opened a photography studio and became "Kovert of Hollywood," a pioneer in male physique photography and had frequent problems with the LAPD Vice Squad which lead to his committing suicide in 1949.
