Gay
Icon: Who? When? Where?
Rupert
Everett
He
enrolled at the Central School of Speech and Drama,
but was expelled for 'subversion'. At the age of
17 he joined the flamboyantly camp and avant-garde
Citizens' Theatre in Glasgow. Everett did some modelling,
including for Yves St Laurent's Opium aftershave
and in the mid 1980s he tried to launch himself
as a rock star but his debut record Generation of
Loneliness flopped and he escaped to Paris.
In 1983 he went to Hollywood to make a film with
Orson Welles, but the project came to an end when
the director died. He went out with Bianca Jagger,
Cher, Madonna, and Paula Yates, but in 1992 he came
out publicly as gay.

Only
one or two street people hanging around mews when
arrive for Monday meet, now word’s
out Boss isn’t even - as had initially been
the case - doling out tea and sympathy. “Done
our bit to help ” proclaims Boss, as Birmans
purr. “’bout time some of our wealthy
neighbours chipped in too”. By all accounts,
according to Trevor – greasy, limp and slumped
at screen, as of yore - they’d already chipped
in: with a barrage of complaints about the new arrivals
“lowering the tone”. Attend an upbeat,
informal memorial reunion for Mark Ashton at Lighthouse
West London in the evening - marking the 20th anniversary
of the gay activist’s death, aged just 26.
