FRIGHT NIGHT (1985) dir. Tom Holland
Roddy McDowall as Ariel in Shakespeare’s The Tempest, 1960. McDowall took the ethereal role of Prospero’s spirit servant in a lavish television production presented as part of The Hallmark Hall of Fame. Maurice Evans starred as Prospero, with Richard Burton as Caliban and Lee Remick as Miranda. Broadcast by NBC on February 3, 1960, the production was an ambitious attempt to bring Shakespeare to American television audiences on a scale and with a distinguished cast more commonly associated with the stage. McDowall’s striking, otherworldly appearance as Ariel remains one of the production’s most memorable visual elements.
Adam West’s Batman series is known for its campy style. But just how campy was it? At least nine of its Guest Stars playing the series’ villains knew first hand as they were closeted LGBT. Until the last few decades, if an actor was outed in public, their careers would end. So most of these actors never came out to their fans. Some were known to be LGBTQ by their friends or families, and stories about them still linger.
In the next few days I will post about Batman’s Campiest Gay Villains.
