Ben Schatz is a graduate of Harvard Law School who during the 1992 presidential campaign wrote the AIDS and Gay rights policies for Clinton.

Schatz plays "Rachel" as pathetic and predatory, a raunchy woman who has strangled that inner voice that tells us to behave. That is part of her appeal for Schatz, who left his job as executive director of the Gay and Lesbian Medical Association in 1999 to become a full-time, professional singing drag queen.
