The victim of the now internationally-known hate crime, Matthew Shepard, was the reporter's friend. In the face of his own sense of loss and outrage, JASON MARSDEN covered the story of the Shepard murder and in the process came out to the world as a gay man. This Way Out's JON BEAUPRE recently met Marsden and talked with him about his friend Matt, about the intense media coverage of the incident, and his own struggle to make sure that one of the most important lesbigay stories of the year was told correctly [6:35] ……… 6:45 SEGMENT #3 - "TWO" I.D. by gay singing duo Romanovsky & Phillips (with an excerpt from their "Brave Boys") [:20] + British stage and screen star IVOR NOVELLO was a theatrical compatriot of Noel Coward, but didn't enjoy the same degree of international renown. One of the major heartthrobs of his day and a successful songwriter as well, he appeared in 23 silent films and wrote and starred in 12 plays and 8 musicals (usually as the romantic lead) from soon after the turn of the century through the 1930's, and while some may be familiar with his work, there's a great deal about him that's probably not very well known. With the help of 86-year-old DAVINA WHITEHOUSE, a friend who worked frequently with Novello on the British stage (she's just published her autobiography "An Acting Life" and now lives in New Zealand), This Way Out's HUGH YOUNG fills in that gay cultural history gap (with music from Novello's "We'll Gather Lilacs" performed by MALVINA MAJOR, "Keep The Home Fires Burning", "Some Day My Heart Will Awake", "My Dearest Dear", and "Waltz Of My Heart") [9:00] ……………………… 9:20 CLOSING CREDITS/CONTINUITY …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… 1:30 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… 28:55 ----------------------------Please note-------------------------------- Anyone with questions, suggestions, or NEWS stories is encouraged to email "T.W.O."
