She and Noel Furie had just come out as lesbians when they opened an unusual gathering place for women in Connecticut. Nearly half a century later, it is still thriving.

#TV #CBS #SundayMorning #AAPI #LBGQT
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:

2) An interview with #WillFerrell and #HarperSteele about their friendship, Steele's life as a #TransWoman & the documentary they made about driving across the country together:

#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.😲
