SHER BITES FRANK LANGELLA!
Hello darlings,
Sher here, breezing by with another Sher bite to keep your gossip appetite satisfied until new Gossip au Go Go is up up on Friday Friday ( sheesh.. I think I just had a cyber stutter…)
Anyhoo, “bites” reminds me that I have yet to dish up the long promised Frank Langella this and that – after all he played THE most sexually charged Dracula on the stage and in the l979 flick version… makes my blood run hot just thinking about it. (Either that, or I’m having another hot flash...)
Langella is one of countless examples that we can put the whiny theater-and-films-are-dominated-by- young-stars ( and I use the term “ stars” loosely, sweeties). Boomer age actors and singers and creative types continue to BURN UP THE BOARDS, the screen with their passion, talent and , often , sex appeal ( which in some cases just gets better with age… can you say “ Sean Connery”? I rest my case..)
Back to Langella: Not only did he just win his third Tony last week for playing Richard “Tricky Dick “ Nixon on Broadway in “Frost/Nixon”, he will soon be on the set of “On the Hook” , which I hear is a thriller par excellence . Elliot “ Married to Barbra Streisand In What Seems Like Another Lifetime” Gould ( where the heck has HE been? Anyone know??)
In October, Langella reports to start the film version of “Frost/Nixon, directed by Ron Howard. Michael Sheen will reprise his role as David Frost, and the supporting cast will include Kevin Bacon, Sam Rockwell, and Matthew MacFayden
You can next see Langella on the big screen in “Sometime in the Evening” which is already in the can --- in that one he plays a writer who develops an “unusual relationship” with a young graduate student..
Speaking of unusual relationships, remember when Frank and Whoopi Goldberg lived together in the mid-l990s? Who’d a thunk THAT one… Send me any scoop you have on his current private life, darlings..
I leave you with a quote from Frank Langella: "Intelligence is enormously sexy."
Amen, darlings..
Smooches,
Sher
