Is Tina Brown a total homo? First the Princess Di book, now this!
Between Oscar Wilde and Boy George, England's most well-known fop was probably Quentin Crisp. Growing up in Britain during the late 1930s and 1940s, Crisp defied convention and, instead of conforming to societal pressure, openly acknowledged his homosexuality. Eventually, he published his autobiography, The Naked Civil Servant, and in 1975 a tremendously entertaining TV film based on the book—with John Hurt portraying Crisp—was made.... The DVD includes a featurette in which Crisp interviews then-Vanity Fair editor ( and fellow Brit expat ) Tina Brown.We'll believe it when we see it. But she's got a long way to go if she going to top David Remnick's commentary track for the Mandy Moore vehicle A Walk to Remember.
