It's irritating that Al Parker's surviving partner Justin Cade, himself a famous porn star, is a dumb-ass gay MAGAt who thinks Tom Hanks eats kids and that Bernie Sanders is a racist. I guess sometimes, not smart + old + Florida = MAGA.

RIP Susan Saint James! Kate McArdle on "Kate & Allie," "McMillan & Wife's" Sally & hysterical in "Love at First Bite," she was also a dedicated activist who made the world better. She was 80. Survived by her husband of 45 years, Dick Ebersol, and her 4 children.

How could anyone NOT love Susan Saint James on impact? Here she is in her first role, as Peggy Chan in the TV movie "Fame Is the Name of the Game" (1966). She won the Emmy for it once this went to series.

RIP Walter Koenig, 90. I just saw his interview in "The Sixty-Year Mission" about how they styled him to look like Davy Jones on "Star Trek." A warm man. Now, only Kirk (William Shatner, 95) & Sulu (George Takei, 89) remain of "Star Trek's" original main cast.

Queen Gladys Knight, in an acting gig, played a nurse schooling kids about AIDS in "An Enemy Among Us" (1987), a "CBS Schoolbreak Special" that was bumped up to a nighttime TV movie starring Danny Nucci.

That time Danny Nucci talked AIDS to Tiger Beat in 1987. (And in the comments, the story behind it.)

RIP Tom DeSimone, 87. He directed gay porn that had plot & good dialogue, and also directed the outrageous "Chatterbox," about a woman whose vagina named Virginia talks and sings disco.

Edythe Eyde made history by publishing the first lesbian magazine in the U.S., "Vice Versa" ... and did it without realizing she was courting prison time. She later receded from activism but lived a long life, mostly in a bungalow she bought on her RKO secretary wages.
