I met Leslie Jordan

strandinthewind · #1 12-02-2004, 12:28 AM

I was at a gala tonight and met Leslie Jordan - he is about 4'10" and EXACTLY like the characters he plays, which include Karen's tiny nemesis "Beverley Leslie" on Will and Grace (I smell Gin and regret - why it must be Karen Walker) - the one who played pool with Karen in a bet to get Rosario, etc.

He also played Brother Boy in Sordid Lives.

I took a picture with him sitting on my knee - again, I am 6'4"

My life somtimes . . .

I always pictured Deb and you both as being tall. Hmmm.... I'm only 5'2" and I'm used to being shorter than everyone.

When we met up with Wondergirl & Seteca at the Dallas HRC in 2003, Christy was taller than Deb...I am tall, Just not rather swift (ie-Face buster on the top stair of the HRC!)

He's in the funniest Will and Grace ever in that episode where Karen is at the party by herself drinking gin at the bar. I forget the event but their banter was hilarious!

This link was such a tease. I was thinking there would be a picture of the little gnome in your lap.

I forgot (AND HOW COULD I

) that Celia Costas - Producer of Angels in America (http://www.hbo.com/films/angelsiname...st/costas.html ) - was at this soiree as well - she received an award for the show. She was an INCREDIBLE woman. I got to talk to her for about five minutes. I was amazed at her wit, intelligence and willingness to talk about her work in a polite way. She was also very funny. I asked her waht Streep was like and she responded she was a doll, etc. I asked her if Streep liked doing the three characters and she said yes. I then said Streep looked like Bea Aurther (Streep - http://www.hbo.com/films/angelsiname...st/streep.html - Bea - http://www.beatricearthur.com/ ) and she laughed. What an amazing and great woman I am proud to have met!!!!!!!!

Hey Jason, who have you met that was a total a-hole? I'm curious. LOL
