The Christine Jorgensen Story

What? This was shown on TNT? Anyway, it's now on Netflix on-demand. Featuring PZ and DL fave Elaine Joyce as bitchy model who calls George (pre-C) Jorgenson a "queer."

Yep, that's Butch (Trent Lehman) from "Nanny and the Professor" who's wearing sis Dolly (Pamelyn Ferdin's) dress.  Christine says she never cross-dressed as a child.

Here's the real Christine:

Loud and Proud

HBO's "Cinema Verite" offers glimpses of the making of the first "reality" show, "An American Family" from 1973. The Loud family of Santa Barbara was profiled and over the course of the series, the peeling away of their seemingly perfect (boring!) family facade reveals a much more interesting cast of characters.



Perhaps the most interesting was the eldest son, Lance, who moved to New York and took up with the Warhol gang, eventually becoming a writer for "Interview" and lead singer of the Mumps. Lance died of AIDS, at 50.
