(IGNA) Actor Richard Gere, who starred in Bent on Broadway, has signed to play the role in the movie version of the story of the mistreatment of homosexuals in Nazi concentration camps.
Producers of the film are Costa-Gavras and Lester Persky.
However, Gere has turned down a part in the controversial Arthur Hiller screenplay Making Love, which concerns a homosexual love triangle.

In Las Vegas, singer Wayne Newton says he's been offered the lead in a television movie based on the life of Errol Flynn, scripted from the swashbuckler's autobiography, My Wicked, Wicked Ways. In fact, Newton has already started taking fencing lessons.
Newton, known for his support of Ronald Reagan and other conservatives, told reporter Stephanie Mansfield in The Washington Post that he disagrees with the reports that Erro! Flynn was at least partially homosexual. "That's a lot of crap," he said angrily. "I don't want to know if it's true. I don't believe in destroying our heroes."
Transsexual pilot
(IGNA) A major airline is sitting on a hot story, according to columnist Liz Smith. A male pilot has had a sex-change and insists on keeping her former job. But none of her former co-pilots will agree to fly with the transsexual.
The women's rights movement is becoming interested in the case, and the airline wished to keep it out of the newspapers, fearing loss of revenue from the publicity.
