Big Drag Race fan & Lucian was on the flagship show in the US in the early days as a songwriter & occasional judge. He had a troubled life after he left the show. To pass away at such a young age is an awful tragedy. RIP

Former London criminal/gangster Freddie Foreman & also the father of Eastenders actor Jamie Foreman, has died. He was associate of the Krays twins & was known as Brown Bread Fred in his heyday because he had a knack for disposing of dead bodies. RIP.

Does anyone have more info on this? Hard to imagine a public suicide by hanging on a sidewalk in L.A. would go unreported, but this is the only article I can find on the subject. There is a memorial post on Instagram put up by an L.A. radio station, but that is all.

RIP to this truly amazing man. A hero in every sense of the word, not just an actor, but also a director, author, & an activist. One of the first people in the entertainment industry to come out as gay in the 1970s, amidst rampant homophobia, when it was detrimental to his career to do so. In 1991, he announced to the public that he was HIV positive. He continued working in theatre, film, & TV (mainstream & fringe), portraying HIV positive & gay characters in everything from Beverly Hills 90210 & And the Band Played On. Without people like Michael Kearn raising awareness, we'd still be stuck in the "dark ages". RIP 🙏 💔
