...book about the early years of the AIDS crisis was first acquired by NBC, which later dropped the project. HBO picked it up but had trouble finding stars willing to appear in it until Richard Gere led a parade of big names who signed on -- among them Steve Martin, Anjelica Huston, Lily Tomlin, Phil Collins, Ian McKellen and Matthew Modine.
