"... The Outfest Legacy Awards on Wednesday was such a nice evening at the DGA. There to honor writer/director/producer Alan Poul was his Tales of the City star Laura Linney. Bruce Vilanch was, as always, a very funny host and others present included Peter Paige, Wilson Cruz, Rex Lee, Alex O’Loughlin, Calpernia Adams, Candis Cayne and Outfest Executive Director Kirsten Schaffer.

The Legacy gala benefits The Outfest Legacy Project for LGBT Film Preservation. It’s the only program of its kind in the world and anyone who has seen restored versions of such films as Parting Glances, Word is Out: Stories of Our Lives, Choosing Children and Queens at Heart (unveiled Wednesday night) knows how important and impressive this work is.

Without the restoration, many LGBT works would fade into oblivion and along with it a big chunk of LGBT history that is well worth preserving.

It was fun to chat up the handsome Alex O’Loughlin, the Australian actor who stars with Jennifer Lopez in Alan Poul’s feature film directorial debut The Back-Up Plan.

Alex did not participate in the awards as far as being onstage but he wanted to be in the audience to support Alan who “has become someone I love very much. He’s an incredible director. He is so smart, he is so well-read, so well-prepared, he’s the consummate professional and a terrific guy. He means the world to me and it’s a pleasure to be here tonight.”

His new CBS series Three Rivers debuts on Sunday so be sure to read my interview with Alex about thar to be posted this weekend..."
