Happy 35th.

The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced HACKS has one of the all-time great TV series finales. It's on the level of THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW and CHEERS.

Sad coincidental news: Lenny's great production designer Albert Wolsky has passed at 95. He won Oscars for All That Jazz and Bugsy; his mindblowingly eclectic credits range from Sophie's Choice, Grease, and Manhattan to Charlie Wilson's War, Jarhead and Birdman. A brilliant gay pioneer. RIP.

[The Toronto Star; Canada - 11/28/1974]

Rex Reed was a fascinating man. In the late 1960s, he became the first entertainment journalist (for the NY Herald Tribune and the NYT) to be allowed to write in a recognizably queer voice for mainstream publications. The best of his on-set reports from back then are among the best ever written. >
