LUCHINO VISCONTI : GAY ICON
Visconti (along with one or two other directors, Fellini, Pasolini et al) gave Italian cinema world class with fascinating stories and stunning cinematography and not least very attractive men.
He was openly gay but his films have few explicitly gay characters. Instead there is often an undercurrent of homoeroticism. He favoured attractive leading men, whereas women did not often have strong roles in his films. Alain Delon's career was launched by his role in Rocco and His Brothers, (1960). Dirk Bogarde received international acclaim for his performances in The Damned, (1969), and Death in Venice, (1971). Helmut Berger was the last love of Luchino Visconti who cast him in his films The Damned, (1969), Ludwig, (1972), and Conversation Piece, (1974).
His original name was Count Don Luchino Visconti Di Morone. Visconti was born into an aristocratic family as one of the seven offspring of the Duke of Modrone and had a priviledged and pampered upbringing. Despite being aristocratic and wealthy he turned into a Marxist ...more...

SPENCER:THE SECRETARIAL DIARIES
Edited
Highlights !!! Adrian Gillan
Tabloid columnist member on rare form at informal Circa do at the judge’s in Hampstead, Monday eve. Says England and Chelsea midfielder Joe Cole shouldn’t be too downhearted at missing out on the UK and Euro Champions League titles, since the stocky skin-head ball-kicker has won the hearts of over a quarter (26%) of single gay UK men in a shock poll – thereby seemingly displacing former queer icon, David Beckham.
Another member chips in, on a more serious note, to promote “Justin” - a new campaign against homophobia in football, aiming to “vindicate the memory of Justin Fashanu”, the world’s first openly gay professional footballer, who took his own life ten years ago. The initiative hopes to get the FA to observe Sat 2 May 2009 as the first Justin Fashanu Day, an annual event on which all pro players wear black armbands and observe a minute’s silence before matches. A tall order, me fears!
Also overhear tad worrying news that Pride London (Sat 5 July, http://www.pridelondon.org/) - the UK’s largest LGBT Pride, which we’ve heard relatively little of this year, and now scarce a month away - claims it costs around £400k a year to keep the event free, mainly from sponsorship and grants… and will soon be passing around an “online begging bowl”!
