Susan Tyrrell Told Me About Dating Herve Villechaize!

In 1983, I interviewed brilliant actress and fiery personality Susan Tyrrell--who recently died--for a staggering Details cover story. The woman was not capable of lying, and since I'm not either, we bonded big time, like thieves in a henhouse. Here's more of the amazing stuff she said, which I'm ... More >>

Weathermen Bomb Factory Can Be Yours for $11 Million

We're not sure how we didn't notice this before, but the building that housed a clandestine Weather Underground bomb factory, located at 18 West 11th Street, is now on the market for some $11 million. (Thanks to our man Sietsema, for bringing this to our attention!) The quiet, tree-lined street in ... More >>

Favorite Male Actors Of All Time

I was stunned to find this list posted on imdb.com. But bear in mind I think it was put up there by a single feisty human, and also "favorite" implies a personal like for someone as opposed to a definite feeling that they're masterfully talented.

Who Should Be Barbra's Herbie In Gypsy?

I love giving casting advice for free, especially when a movie like Barbra Streisand's Gypsy--as it will forever be known--seems to need it so badly. I won't dare to cast the title role, since an age-appropriate daughter for a 70-year-old would probably be Madonna--and while she'd be great as a str ... More >>

How's This For A Happy Face?

Whenever I see a TV camera approaching, my face lights up like a Halloween pumpkin and all the hanging skin inflates like a Thanksgiving Day float based on a long-running animated character. I basically become a holiday parade float of a giant, gay, papier-mâché suckerfish.

Transgender And Drag At The Oscars! A Fabulous Pictorial!

In Albert Nobbs, Glenn Close (above) convincingly plays a woman who dresses like a man in order to nab some employment in 19th-century Ireland. But it's the kind of stunt that can also nab you awards consideration.

Weather-Appropriate Halloween Costume Ideas

As the woman in the Pac-Man costume can attest, hypothermia causes paradoxical undressing.​Bad news, attention-starved women and vain men: That skimpy costume you've been planning for your big Halloween bash tonight isn't going to work in this weather. "Slutty Henry Kissinger" might have been ... More >>

Barbra Streisand Movies: My Six Favorites

​Sorry, I'm leaving out the pretentious stuff and/or the stuff with one-word titles like Yentl or Nuts (though the former certainly had its merits). I'm even leaving out such worthy entries as The Way We Were and The Prince of Tides because they don't happen to be among my six favorites. I'm ... More >>

Who's The Best Male Movie Star In Drag?

Whether they were playing drag queens or women, a lot of name actors have been willing to step into the heels and do it up. Who's your favorite? Liev Schreiber in 'Taking Woodstock'​

Brace Yourselves for 'La Dolce Tootsie'!

​If you thought Dustin Hoffman was dazzling as a red-hot mama in Tootsie, just take a gander at my own boobalicious self and the sizzling possibilities such a film project would prompt, as sure as I'd fool people in a remake of The Crying Game. As you'll notice, Musto the film is "from the ma ... More >>

​Clip Job: an excerpt every day from the Voice archives. February 10, 1972, Vol. XVII, No. 6 films in focus By Andrew Sarris The subject of violence has been so persistently debated and so pretentiously demonstrated in recent movies that reviewers are beginning to sound more like revivalists ...

Blade Runner Dish From Way Back

​People who like Ridley Scott's 1982 sci-fi mood piece Blade Runner don't just like it; they worship it, eat it, breathe it, and want to fuck it to sleep. And they will absolutely adore a new book I'm reading by the film's producer, Michael Deeley, called Blade Runners, Deer Hunters, And Blow ... More >>
