The BBC will release 'Dear Viv', a tribute to The Vivienne, who passed away at 32. Known for winning the first series of RuPaul's Drag Race UK and competing on Dancing on Ice, The Vivienne's death was linked to a high level of ketamine found in her system. The film aims to celebrate her life through interviews, family photos, and unseen Drag Race footage. It will feature testimonies from her family and fellow drag legends, highlighting her impact as an entertainer, mentor, and the epitome of British drag while addressing her struggles with addiction.
Dear Viv promises a celebratory deeply personal portrait of The Vivienne's remarkable journey from their roots in North Wales and Liverpool to the global stage.
The film will blend interviews, family photos, home video, archive and unseen behind-the-scenes Drag Race footage, charting her life from a cheeky toddler to the entertainment icon beloved by many.
Producers Fenton Bailey & Randy Barbato stated, 'We wanted to celebrate The Vivienne and not just mourn her. Although she left us far too soon her life was defined by her breathtaking talent, scene-stealing charisma, and infinite kindness.'
