Pandora Boxx (born Michael Steck; in Jamestown, New York) is an American drag queen, comedian and reality television personality from Rochester, New York. He is best known as a contestant from the second season of RuPaul's Drag Race. and RuPaul's All Star Drag Race.
Boxx was born Michael Steck in Jamestown, New York. His family later moved to Olean, New York. Steck has a younger sister Susanne Steck.
Steck was inspired to do drag after watching the drag queen Darienne Lake perform in an outdoor festival in Rochester, New York. For his first show at the gay bar Infinity in Rochester, Steck chose his drag name as a play on words of Pandora's box, an artifact found in Greek mythology.
Boxx auditioned two times before becoming a contestant on the second season of RuPaul's Drag Race. Highlights of his performance on Drag Race include an impersonation of Carol Channing on Snatch Game (a Match Game parody challenge). Performing well in the show's challenges, his failure to win one resulted in RuPaul calling him "the Susan Lucci of this competition." He was eliminated in the eighth episode, "Golden Gals." After his elimination, Entertainment Weekly called him their pick for "America's Next Drag Superstar." He was later voted the Miss Congeniality of his season.
