This Months Queens of Camp Hall of Fame Inductee


1960’s puppet show Thunderbirds most fabulous character was undoubtedly Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward. The Thunderbirds London Agent assisted by her trusty butler, Parker, she added a hugely camp element to the show. Not least because of her heavily armed Pink Rolls Royce.
Her official biography reads:
Born on December 24th, 2039, Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward is the 26 year old daughter of aristocrat Sir Hugh Creighton-Ward International Rescue's London Agent, a key part of the organisation's network of undercover agents. Working from her stately home at Foxleyheath in rural Southern England, Lady Penelope appears to those ignorant of her secret life to be just as much a member of the English landed gentry as is expected of a woman in her position. But with her cool poise and nerves of steel, Lady Penelope has proven time and again to be an invaluable addition to the International Rescue team.

Lady Penelope with her glamorous wardrobe and elegant cigarette holder would prove a role model to gays and girls alike throughout the late 1960’s As well as the tv series she appeared in the big screen adaptation and in print.
