Two interesting (to me) segments on CBS' "Sunday Morning program this week:

1) An interview with #ConnieChung, the 1st Asian-American #TVNews #journalist & anchor on a major #TV network:

#JulieAndrews stared in the movie (1982) & a Broadway production (1995) of #VictorVictoria in which Julie plays a singer who is a "woman pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman" . . . which was a production well ahead of the times, even though 1982 doesn't sound all that long ago to me.

This movie has been missing from my #DVD collection for a long time & I bought one thinking it was a copy of the movie but it was copy of the Broadway production instead. I was surprised but not disappointed & am trying to buy a copy of the movie, as well

I've also have movie & play versions #Rent on DVD & it's nice to compare how the plot is adapted for each medium.

This play reminds me of the final line/scene in #SomeLikeItHot where #JackLemon admits to the millionaire played by #JoeEBrown who has been pursing him dressed as a woman that he's actually a man. Joe's response:

"Nobody's perfect." LOL! 😎

. . . which was an even more daring remark back in 1959.😲

#Movies #LBGQT+

Prime Video is currently streaming "Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" (1994) an early LBGQT+ movie and cult classic. I have it on DVD but am streaming it now.

The film was not w/o controversy but if you're a member of Prime Video & you've never seen it before (or want to see it again), now's your chance.

------------------------------

Note: When I clicked on the 1st link to the movie I saw, it was offered for free but when I backws out of the movie and tried to find it again, I was directed to a PPV link instead and I had to seach for the free link again.

It is well known the now injured #Neymar is a huge #Bolsonaro supporter with various endorsements during the presidential campaign season.

Less known until now is the latest Brazilian "craque" or superstar, #Richarlison, who scored on a sensational bicycle kick against #Serbia, is an outspoken #progressive on a number of current political issues affecting #Brazil including #racism, #police violence, #LBGQT rights and #Amazon & #Pantanal rain forest destruction.
