Jordan Flounders - The Great Gadsby - Broadway Blues View in your browser | Update your preferences     ESSENTIAL INDUSTRY and AWARD NEWS April 30, 2021 In Praise of Elliot Page Just by showing up for his interview with Oprah Winfrey, actor and activist Elliot Page did something remarkable—he shared his life at an incredibly vulnerable, uncertain time because he knew how much is at stake for the trans population everywhere. Today, journalist Evan Urquhart tells us what struck him about the interview, and remembers his own early transition from six years ago: "It was, absolutely, a time of deep joy and relief that I could finally be myself. At the same time, it was the second most self-conscious and unsure I've ever felt (actually, being 14, with a body that felt profoundly wrong, was still by far the worst)."

Jordan's new action movie; the British actor, writer, and filmmaker Noel Clarke faces consequences after 20 women reportedly made various allegations of sexual harassment and more; the singular comedian and actor Hannah Gadsby tells the world of her secret nuptials; and New York City mayor Bill de Blasio says Broadway likely won't reopen until September.
