Born Patricia Neal on September 1944 in Birmingham, Alabama, USA, Fannie is famous for her appearances as a semi-regular panelist on the CBS classic game show Match Game, and for writing the best-selling 1987 novel Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe, which was adapted into the 1991 comedy-drama film Fried Green Tomatoes.
Is Fannie Flagg a lesbian?
Although Fannie has been secretive about her personal life, she is an out lesbian and had a public relationship with the iconic activist and writer Rita Mae Brown in the late 1970s. Living in New York in the 1960s, Fannie wrote comedy skits for the nightclub Upstairs Downtown.
One fateful night, she was spotted by a television producer after one of the regular performers took sick and Fannie was tapped to replace her that night. Soon, she was hired as a staff writer for that same producer’s series Candid Camera.
In the 1970s, her acting dreams finally came true and she made appearances on several game shows, the popular series The New Dick Van Dyke Show, and off-Broadway productions such as The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.
