Her work on the show resulted in a GLAAD Media Award nomination… and enough scalding hot tea to last us a lifetime. We wouldn’t have it any other way!It wasn’t until Pride Month 2023 that Miss Benny’s fame catapulted even further with the premiere of Glamorous, Netflix’s delightful LGBTQ romcom, where she played a bright-eyed go-getter at a makeup empire run by a model-turned-mogul played by Kim Cattrall.
