When I sponsored my friend Trevor in the Washington DC AIDSwalk, I requested he do it in honor of Gene Anthony Ray, the actor who played "Leroy" in the original cast of FAME.
The show was a favorite of mine growing up - I still love the Debbie Allen intro. "You want fame? Well, fame costs. And this is where you start paying. In sweat."
Leroy died? I didn't even know that. I loved Fame so much. Have you seen Glee? I think its shaping up as the Fame of my daughter's generation (but you know there is an updated Fame movie coming out, so maybe it will all begin again).
