Early life
Dunayevskiy is the child of Russian Jewish immigrants.[3][4] Dunayevskiy was raised in Newton, Massachusetts,[5] and was a competitive ballroom dancer at a young age.[6]
Career
Plane Jane is a drag performer. In Boston, she has been the resident host of a drag bingo series.[7][8]
Plane Jane competed on season 16 of RuPaul's Drag Race, placing third overall. Some media outlets said she seemed to occupy, and even embrace, the villain role.[9][10][11] On the second episode, she won the talent show challenge with a performance of her debut single "Burger Finger",[12] and earned immunity from a future elimination after beating Geneva Karr in a lip-sync contest.[13] During the initial episodes of the season, Plane Jane was quickly seen as someone who offered unsolicited opinions and gave semi-condescending critiques in an effort to "assist" fellow contestants. This was evidenced by the interactions between herself and "underdog" queen Amanda Tori Meating (both on the show and online, primarily via Twitter).[14]
