I know pride month is over now, but I want to reflect on the artists, musicians, actors, singers, and others we lost to AIDS.
Keith Haring
Gia Carangi
Leonard Frey
Robert La Tourneaux
Frederick Combs
Keith Prentice
Kenneth Nelson
Larry Kert
Irving Allen Lee
Ilka Tanya Payán
I encourage others to add more people, as I will do the same in reblogs as there were so many more people I wanted to add. And those in the public eye that we lost don’t even hold a candle to the large amount of brothers, sisters, friends, that were lost due to AIDS.

not me crying on the floor because both Russ Tamblyn and Mike Faist wanted to play Tony because they both felt they could play his death of hope well...
and here’s Larry Kert who just wanted to be Riff because “ I know what it is to be that frightened. ” Larry Kert looked at this this angry one dimensional baseline character THAT WAS STILL BEING DEVELOPED and said “ yep, he’s terrified. I know how that feels I’ve been in his shoes” and tried his damnest to get him but ended up playing Tony.

Being Alive - Company OBC, 1970 - Dean Jones
Original Cast Album: Company is a 1970 documentary film by D. A. Pennebaker, observing the marathon recording session to create the original cast album for the Stephen Sondheim musical Company. As Company continued its successful run on Broadway, the film was screened at the New York Film Festival in September 1970, unanimously praised by a crowd that filled the auditorium to capacity.
Filled with behind the scenes footage of the marathon recording process at the Columbia Records studio at East 30th Street and Third Avenue on the first Sunday in May, the film captures both the musical direction and insight of composer Sondheim. Several of Company songs appear in the film, including "Another Hundred People", "Getting Married Today", and "Being Alive"—all recorded with a live orchestra, done in multiple takes, over the course of a lengthy studio session.
After working in film and television, Dean Jones was set to return to Broadway as the star of Stephen Sondheim's musical Company in 1970. Shortly after opening night, he withdrew from the show, due to stress that he was undergoing from ongoing divorce proceedings. Director Harold Prince agreed to replace him with Larry Kert if Jones would open the show and record the cast album. He agreed, and his performance is preserved on the original cast album.
Shown here is Jones’s bravado performance singing the showstopper “Being Alive.”
