Flowers were left outside at the home of Walter C. Cole, better known as the iconic drag queen who performed for decades as Darcelle. Cole died of natural causes. He was 92. Darcelle, who died Thursday, was crowned the world’s oldest working drag performer in 2016 by the Guinness Book of World Records and was regaling audiences until the very end. As a performer, Darcelle was known for hosting the longest-running drag show on the U.S. West Coast, while off-stage Cole championed LGBTQ+ rights and charitable work in the city.
