Quentin Crisp (born Denis Charles Pratt, December 25, 1908 – November 21, 1999) was an English writer, raconteur, artist's model, and actor who was known for his memorable and insightful witticisms. He became a gay icon in the 1970s after publication of his memoir, The Naked Civil Servant (1968), brought to the attention of the general public his defiant exhibitionism and longstanding refusal to conceal his homosexuality.
