About Face - Jewel's Darl
Television (Full Length) – 1985
For the time, that was quite unusual, to look at people like us not as caricatures, but real people with real lives.– Georgina Beyer on portraying a transgender character in Jewel's Darl, The Spinoff, 6 March 2023
...she ends up in the cells, reading the writing on the walls for company — hoping she doesn't come out of there in a box. Jewel says she knew two Queens who came out in boxes. Yeah...so Jewel says you gotta be tough kid. You've gotta never lose face.– Mandy (Richard Hanna) recalls the time Jewel ended up in a cell
