Farley Granger will be "discussing his career - and no doubt his love affairs with such luminaries as Ava Gardner, Leonard Bernstein and Shelley Winters - at the American Cinematheque's Aero Theatre in Santa Monica on Wednesday after a screening of one of Granger's best-known films, the 1951 Alfred Hitchcock classic thriller Strangers on a Train," notes Susan King in the Los Angeles Times

Michael Guillén: "The morning after Frameline31's sold-out screening of Out at the Wedding at the Castro Theater, Mink Stole and I met over coffee at the Hotel Rex."
