Canadian actress Ellen Page comes out of the closet.

[tay]

I think it's her who was in that crappy movie where she played a girl who was pregnant.

Well as an 'out of the loop' person I had never heard of her but you are correct.


She was in a movie called JUNO which I find even more surprising as I would have thought a movie with that name would have been related to WW2.....








Page received an Oscar nomination for best actress for her role in Juno, which also featured Michael Cera, Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman. She also starred in Smart People, Whip It, Inception and X-Men: The Last Stand.


Juno is a 2007 Canadian-American comedy-drama film directed by Jason Reitman and written by Diablo Cody. Ellen Page stars as the title character, an independent-minded teenager confronting an unplanned pregnancy and the subsequent events that put pressures of adult life onto her. Michael Cera, Jennifer Garner, Jason Bateman, Allison Janney, and J. K. Simmons also star. Filming spanned from early February to March 2007 in Vancouver, British Columbia.

The announcement is nothing more than a publicity stunt designed to increase her cache as an actress. The announcement is commercially driven.

If you were a real man you could cure her.

And a lot of times the roles dry up because of the announcement. Not all the actors/actresses have the clout of Jodie Foster after all. I would think, if anything, the timing of it is to coincide with the Olympics in Russia than for publicity to garner more roles.

Some, but not all. It's not as "hip" as some people seem to think it is for them.

Or saying they are, or not refuting allegations they are; I can't remember if it helped the careers of Burton Cummings or Rod Stewart when it was reported they were gay, even though they weren't. but it sure didn't seem to hurt. I guess any publicity is good publicity as long as the "ïck factor" boundaries are respected.

It's really becoming more and more of a non-issue all the time.

Zachery Quinto comes to mind. He's not hurting for work.

Liberace. Nobody noticed the obvious.

That's true. But there are some actors that still won't come out of the closet (not that they need to, mind you) due to fear of backlash, particularly if they are members of Scientology.

I think everybody noticed, he just didn't make his private business our business, and for that I respected him.
