ReplyDeleteElderly gay icon.
ReplyDeletePerhaps I should explain that. The first time I ever became aware of Crisp was about 1978 when he was a guest on a local Cleveland talk show called Afternoon Exchange. He was entertaining, but I was struck by his age. According to Wikipedia, he would have been 70, but to my 16-year old eyes he looked even older. It sounds silly now, but I had never seen a gay senior citizen before. I guess back then I didn't believe it was possible!
That must have been an entertaining eye opening talk show for Cleveland.
