Chris Morley (Jul 22, 1951–Nov 2, 2023) was an American actor and female impersonator, known for portraying Sally Armitage on the ABC daytime soap opera General Hospital and its spinoff Port Charles.
Career[]
In the 1980s and 1990s he was one of the foremost Marilyn Monroe impressionists, starring at the La Cage aux Folles Dinner Theatre in Los Angeles.
Biography[]
He specialized in cross-dressing roles. Morley's character was a friend of Laura Webber, and attracted the flirtatious interest of Luke Spencer. The role was played straight until Morley's character finally revealed that "she" was a man. This was possibly the influence for Larry Gelbart's screenplay for Tootsie (1982), in which Dustin Hoffman played an actor who gets a job on a soap opera by impersonating a woman.
