The happiest of birthdays to the grand Sir Ian McKellen! You're a squared-away bloke all around. [We're still convinced you're a wizard]

Cine: Seis grados de separación (1993)

La noche promete ser de una importancia esencial para John Flanders, "Flan", Kittredge (Donald Sutherland) y su esposa Ouisa (Stockard Channing, nominada al Oscar a la Mejor Actriz): están frente a su amigo e inversor Geoffrey Miller (Sir Ian McKellen), con quien está a punto de cerrar la venta de una pintura de Paul Cézanne. El negocio es millonario, pero les cae la inesperada visita de un muchacho que afirma haber sido asaltado. Éste se hace llamar Paul (Will Smith, que entonces estaba saboreando las mieles del éxito como rapero y como protagonista de la sitcom "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air") y, además, los sorprende confirmándoles que es compañero de la universidad de sus hijos y que es hijo del gran actor Sidney Poitier. Su carisma es indudable y no tarda en sorprenderlos con su profusa cultura literaria, sus dotes culinarios y anécdotas variadas sobre su presunto padre.

Conmovidos por tan extraordinaria personalidad, la pareja, luego de sanar su herida, le permite pasar la noche en su casa y le da cincuenta dólares. A la mañana siguiente, le encuentran en la cama con un prostituto (Lou Milione) y, en medio de un gran escándalo, echan a ambos del departamento noyorquino. Hablando con amigos, descubren que el modus operandi del muchacho es similar y emprenden la tarea de buscar a tan extraño, aunque encantador, personaje, para intentar evitar que continúe con su desquiciada cruzada.

La historia es increíble, pero real: su inspiración es David Hampton, un adolescente que estafó a estrellas de la magnitud de Melanie Griffith, Calvin Klein o Gary Sinise haciéndose pasar por David Poitier, hijo de, claro, Sidney Poitier. Hampton recibió una condena que iba de los dieciocho meses a los cuatro años de prisión y murió en 2003 por complicaciones del sida. Luego llegaría la pieza teatral, escrita (al igual que el guión de esta película) por John Guare. La dirección recayó en el australiano Fred Schepisi, quén se valió de talentos actorales como Mary Beth Hurt, Heather Graham, Bruce Davison, Richard Masur, Eric Thal, Kelly Bishop, Anthony Rapp, J. J. Abrams (sí, el director de "Star Wars, el despertar de la fuerza" y "Star Trek") y, en el rol de Trent Conway, el primer incauto qua cae ante los encantos de Paul, Anthony Michael Hall.

Happy Birthday Ian McKellan! #FoundInTheArchives: A photograph of a young Sir Ian McKellen (@ianmckellen) engaged in an action with the theatre performers union, the Actors’ Equity Association, in New York City in 1981. The world-renowned actor was living in New York City and performing nightly in his Tony Award winning role as Salieri in the play “Amadeus.” He was also devoting his time to picketing on the streets of New York as part of the Actors’ Equity campaign “Save Our Theaters.” The campaign was organized by Joseph Papp, local New Yorkers, and Actors’ Equity to try and halt the destruction of historic theaters on 46th Street in Manhattan’s Theater District. The action was, sadly, unsuccessful and the theaters were demolished in 1982 to make way for the Marriott Marquis Hotel. However, the action did rally support to preserve the rest of the Theater District, which is now a protected, landmarked neighborhood. .

Best nine from 2019. I've got to admit my number 1 from the year was going to see Sir Ian Mckellen. Not only did I get to see him perform live on stage in Norwich, but I also got a chat and a photo. To top it off before he left he came and joined me having a pint and we had a great casual chat. Thanks @anastazjajasinska. What a great year, bring on 2020 #bestnine2019 #sirianmckellen #greatyear #onwardsandupwards @ianmckellen (at Langtoft, Lincolnshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6wD__BAAFg/?igshid=17t0l85hfi4yz
