I'll have to investigate these Orton films. I had no idea there were any at all.

Anybody ever noticed how many real-life people Gary Oldman has portrayed in film, and how much in each role he resembles the actual person? Consider:

1. Sid Vicious ("Sid and Nancy")
2. Beethoven ("Immortal Beloved")
3. Lee Harvey Oswald ("JFK" -- admittedly not a dead ringer)
4. Joe Orton (see above)

Are there any others?

A footnote on John Lahr: He wrote a fine book about his father, Bert Lahr, called "Notes on a Cowardly Lion."

Completion of the Hulk Hogan >> Judy Garland Six Degrees of Seperation is left as an exercise for the reader.
