In Once in Paris (1978) Wayne Rogers plays a married man who meets a witty, blue-eyed, dark-haired woman with whom he has great chemistry.
They agree to a Completely Casual™️ fling and then when he falls in love with her and realizes he might be willing to end his marriage for her, we get this scene that sliced cleaaaaan through my Trapper/Hawkeye-loving heart:
was anyone going to tell me that almost-BJ-Hunnicutt James Cromwell would go on to play a character named "BJ Cocker" in the 1990 made-for-television movie Miracle Landing featuring Wayne fucking Rogers in the lead role?
imagine if you will. a very stupid trapper/peg au. man and woman feel stifled in their respective marriages, have an airport meetcute followed by a whirlwind romance.... i guess that isnt that stupid but my reason for posting this is (wayne rogers + gayle hunnicutt)
ok i get that there is some danger that reappropriating the term "gay panic" will mean its violent history gets glossed over by some. but. i am gay and i did panic upon discovery of this 1979 news coverage of wayne rogers and charlton heston's participation in a charity tennis tournament.
standby everyone i have got my gay lil gremlin hands on another low-res wayne rogers movie via a very sketchy website!! i will answer the rest of the bingo asks tomorrow!!
