Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This TV movie aired when Ryan White was still headline news and AZT cost $10,000/year. It was radical simply for treating HIV+ teens as people worth knowing.
Harvey Fierstein had already won two Tonys for Torch Song Trilogy when he took this role — one of few mainstream actors doing AIDS education work in that era.
