...know George because his partner of nearly 40 years was William Tynan, who was a stage and TV actor before he became a TIME arts reporter of exceptional knowledge, ingenuity and patience. He retired in 2000 but has continued his active interest in the theater, as a Tony voter and a perfect complement to George. The two met when they played in The Boys in the Band in Florida in the late '60s. Both were strong personalities who challenged and supported each other.

To insinuate herself into his bourgeois world, and to ultimately seduce him, she transforms herself from a gawky ingenue into a ruby-lipped Mata Hari. She's initially playing a role. But her performance shades into real feeling, and their affair begins...
...less passionate story of two gay cowboys. He took that cachet and banked it on a Mandarin-language drama that has earned the Motion Picture Association's NC-17 rating (no children under 17). That rating will keep Lust, Caution out of many cinemas because lots of theater owners won't show films with a rating harder than R.
