One door opens, another slams shut

Article Abstract:

Actress and stand-up comedienne Ellen DeGeneres seemed tense at her Coming Out Party, at which she appeared with her lesbian partner, actress Anne Heche. This could have been because she was aware that ABC had decided to drop her show. This could be interpreted as an indication that her decision to come out as a lesbian was misguided. She had become very well known in the US, and was regarded with affection by many people. She had perhaps been counting on this affection to balance out the media backlash against her when she came out.

Moving into the mainstream

Article Abstract:

Gay culture is rapidly becoming less isolated in the UK, and gay men are now starting to play a defining role in areas such as art, the media and politics. This is mainly because of Aids, which has led to much greater media coverage of gay issues and has also led to the deaths of a number of major gay artists. However, many ordinary gay men still feel that to be openly gay would be to endanger their career and their friendships.

As luck would have it

Article Abstract:

There have been many famous cases over the history of Hollywood film-making in which the last-minute stand-in actor has gone on to become extremely well known. This has applied to people including Bette Davis, Humphrey Bogart, Richard Gere and Whoopi Goldberg. Most recently, Christian Slater took over the leading role in 'Interview with the Vampire' following the death of River Phoenix.
