He was in the adudience at a Martin Short play on Bway and Short brought him up on stage and did a schtick with him as that fat reporter he plays. Army seemed game and good-natured.
You know, maybe I'm a sucker, but I had the sense that he was a genuinely sweet man who, despite the amount of truly tawdry gossip he must have been exposed to, retained a genuine admiration for and love of the glamor of Hollywood. While I'm not certain that's an entirely good thing, I think, or at least enjoy believing, that he was a good person.
Get it right: Army joined Daily Variety in 1953, the column was called "Just for Variety" and he broke the news that Rock Hudson was suffering from AIDS.
Maybe I'm being overly sensitive, but isn't using the phrase "Hollywood Reporter" in the title of a post about a dead Variety columnist a little bit of a (presumably unintentional) diss?
Beatty has had 18 years to make a sequel, a TV special, or even a video game follow-up. Instead he has been impregnating Annette Bening every hour, on the hour.
Give it up, Warren. Time to continue the Grumpy Old Men franchise with Dustin Hoffman.
The acting was atrocious, but the soundtrack was fabulous. You know damn well the remake's going to be Kelly Clarkson doing her best 1930's impression. I'm for Beatty in this one.
