Bonus! Fun backstage stories from Ian McKellen and Derek Jacobi
Added 2025-04-13 20:01:36 +0000 UTCHello there!
I'm chugging away on multiple videos for you right now -- one about Roy Cohn and Angels in America; and another about the 2013 British sitcom Vicious. For this week's bonus video, I've got some fun backstage stories from the stars of Vicious, the always-iconic Sir Ian and Sir Derek, regarding their youthful hairstyles and run-ins with various other queer creatives. Was Noël Coward making a pass at Derek, or just being really fucking weird?
Also, an important question: When I say the name of the actor Iwan Rheon, how hard should I try to match the Welsh pronunciation???

I know!!! There was a great project awhile back that dramatized conversations between Andy Warhol & Truman Capote, and I would love to see something similar with Noel & Ian.
