Who was Daniel Davis in Glen or Glenda?
This was the only film Wood directed but did not also produce. Wood played the eponymous character, but under the pseudonym “Daniel Davis”. His then-girlfriend, Dolores Fuller, played Glen’s girlfriend/fiancée Barbara. Wood later returned to Glen or Glenda in his pulp novel Killer in Drag (1963).
Who is the producer of Glen or Glenda?
It was produced by George Weiss who also made the exploitation film Test Tube Babies that same year. The film is a docudrama about cross-dressing and transsexuality, and is semi- autobiographical in nature. Wood himself was a cross-dresser, and the film is a plea for tolerance. It is widely considered one of the worst films ever made.
