The late character actor Michael Jeter had a profound effect on me as a child, but as with so many things, I didn\u2019t realize it until I was an adult. Twenty-five years ago this month, I saw my first Tony Awards broadcast. Amid all the spectacle\u2014ostentatious musical numbers; sternly enunciating grand dames of the thee-a-tuh (including host Kathleen Turner); Tyne Daly, then performing in a Gypsy revival\u2014one unlikely little fellow stood out. The Tennessee-born Jeter, a scrawny five feet four, with a push-broom mustache and balding pate, brought down the house with a number from the now largely forgotten musical Grand Hotel, a pas de deux in which he left his partner, the more conventionally strapping Brent Barrett, in the dust. For \u201cWe\u2019ll Take a Glass Together,\u201d Jeter, playing the sickly bookkeeper Otto Kringelein, showed off his amazingly limber footwork, his legs as bendy as string cheese.

His talent was extraordinary, but what made even more of an impression on me was that he didn\u2019t look at all like the kind of star I was used to seeing on TV and in the movies. His offbeat bearing\u2014he was the kind of actor Hollywood once cast only as a wimp or a pansy\u2014immediately let me perceive a difference between stage folk and the glamorous movie people I might see onstage at the Oscars, revealing the theater world as more of a refuge for the marginalized. Even to a show-tune-loving tween like me, Jeter seemed different, and his singularity became even more pronounced immediately after the performance, when he took the podium to accept the Tony for featured actor in a musical. Tiny and trembly and teary, Jeter took the opportunity to speak from the heart about his past struggles with addiction, briefly and without pretension. In other words, I was seeing something rather queer: a man comfortable in his own skin despite his differences and setbacks. This confession\u2014a coming-out speech of sorts\u2014was breathtaking for being so utterly unapologetic.

In his speech, Jeter, an out gay actor who would later become an outspoken, HIV-positive AIDS activist, was offering himself up with pride. A year later, I\u2019d see him do that again, in Terry Gilliam\u2019s whimsical 1991 hit The Fisher King. Like him, the role was small but unforgettable. As an unnamed homeless cabaret singer, he shimmies across the screen with boundless confidence, turning what might have been a grotesque, or at least merely humorous, part into something noble, even indomitable. He\u2019s hilarious in the role, yes, but because of his strength, not his strangeness. It often gets forgotten alongside all the other bravura parts in the movie, but it\u2019s a performance to applaud, especially during June, LGBT Pride Month. In a film unafraid of big acting, Jeter goes bigger than anyone, in a scene that\u2019s The Fisher King\u2019s equivalent of that Grand Hotel showstopper.

Jeff Bridges\u2019s Jack, a former radio shock jock on a quest for personal redemption, enlists Jeter\u2019s character to deliver a singing telegram to the workplace of Lydia (Amanda Plummer), a mousy, wary accountant adored from afar by Jack\u2019s traumatized homeless friend, Parry (Robin Williams); the message, to be delivered with balloons and great fanfare, is that she has won a free video-store membership. It\u2019s all an elaborate ruse to get Lydia to come to Video Spot, owned by Jack\u2019s girlfriend, Anna (Mercedes Ruehl), so she can meet Parry. The plan allows for one of the most eccentric scenes in a film filled with flights of fancy, as well as an opportunity for Jeter to strut his stuff, displaying his Broadway-honed abilities in a perfectly inappropriate setting. Though the scene was in the script, Gilliam allowed Jeter to come up with the musical performance himself. Dressed in drag\u2014in an outrageous tasseled red dress, blonde wig, and gold high heels, all inspired by Marlene Dietrich\u2019s character in Destry Rides Again, according to Gilliam\u2014Jeter bursts into the office and, after locating a suitably shocked Lydia, leaps onto a high counter and launches into a pitch-perfect medley of highlights from Gypsy\u2019s climactic number \u201cRose\u2019s Turn,\u201d the words absurdly changed to be about video rentals. (Jeter, a friend of Stephen Sondheim\u2019s, actually helped secure permission for use of the music\u2014one can only imagine the composer\u2019s bewildered delight at the version in the film.)

The humor of the scene stems from its various incongruities: a drag performer loudly impersonating Ethel Merman in a straitlaced workplace; lyrics about going to the video store (\u201cAll the movies you\u2019ll watch for free now! Dramas, westerns, comedies, wow!\u201d) belted out with Broadway bombast; and perhaps most hilariously jarring of all, Jeter\u2019s bushy mustache prominently poking out from all his glittery feminine regalia. Though it\u2019s a standout moment, it encapsulates the film\u2019s theme of the intermingling of New York City\u2019s usually strictly separated social strata. Just as the film hinges on an unlikely relationship between a formerly wealthy celebrity and a possibly schizophrenic homeless man, this scene is predicated on a delightful crosscultural phenomenon, in which a bustling office full of suit-and-tie midtowners stops cold for two minutes to marvel at one of the metropolis\u2019s marginalized. They are in thrall; he\u2019s in control.

Jeter\u2019s character has a fleeting but undeniable power over his audience\u2014including silent Lydia, who ends up frozen in her desk chair in a fascinating, legs-up pose that connotes both fear and arousal. Especially since Jeter was introduced earlier in the film as a sort-of damsel in distress (wailing after being minorly trampled by a horse) and the specter of AIDS is invoked through his character (\u201cI watched all my friends die,\u201d he tells Jack, while lying in his arms in a piet\u00e0 pose at a hospital after the horse-trampling scene), his strength here is all the more stirring. His costume may strike some as foolish, but he\u2019s nobody\u2019s fool, sauntering off whistling after his big finish, while Lydia and her dumbstruck coworkers watch his exit. It was a tough crowd, but he prevailed, with a smile on his face and a spring in his step. His bursting-at-the-seams performance is a reminder that pride is often hard-won.

Michael Jeter (/\u02c8d\u0292i\u02d0t\u0259r/; August 26, 1952 \u2013 March 30, 2003) was an American actor and comedian. Known for his career on stage and screen Jeter played diverse characters taking on roles ranging from eccentric, pretentious, and wimpy characters. He won a Tony Award, and a Primetime Emmy Award. He portrayed Herman Stiles on the sitcom Evening Shade from 1990 until 1994.\n

Jeter was born in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee. He studied at Memphis State University and later pursued a career in acting. He made his Broadway debut acting in the musical Once in a Lifetime (1979), followed by G. R. Point. For his role as Otto Kringelein in the musical Grand Hotel (1989) he received a Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical. He portrayed Giuseppe Zangara in the musical Assassins (1989).\n

Jeter gained notoriety for his roles in The Fisher King (1991) and The Green Mile (1999). His other notable film roles include in Zelig (1983), Miller's Crossing (1990), Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit (1993), Air Bud (1997), Mouse Hunt (1998), Patch Adams (1998), Jurassic Park III (2001), Open Range (2003), and The Polar Express (2004). He also appeared on Sesame Street's Elmo's World as Mister Noodle from 2000 to 2003.\n

\n\n

Early life and education[edit]

\n

Jeter was born in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee on August 26, 1952. His mother, Virginia (n\u00e9e Raines; May 6, 1927 \u2013 May 21, 2019), was a housewife. His father, William Claud Jeter (March 10, 1922 \u2013 March 1, 2010), was a dentist.[1] Jeter had one brother, William, and four sisters, Virginia, Amanda, Emily, and Lori.[2] Jeter was a student at Memphis State University (now the University of Memphis) when his interests changed from medicine to acting. He performed in several plays and musicals at the Circuit Theatre and its sister theatre, the Playhouse on the Square, in midtown Memphis. He left Memphis to further pursue his stage career in Baltimore, Maryland.\n

\n

Career[edit]

\n

Jeter's woebegone look, extreme flexibility, and high energy led Tommy Tune to cast him in the off-Broadway play Cloud 9 in 1981.[3] Much of his work specialized in playing eccentric, pretentious, or wimpy characters, as in The Fisher King, Waterworld, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The Green Mile and Drop Zone. Occasionally, Jeter was able to stray from type for more diverse characters, such as those he portrayed in Jurassic Park III, Air Bud, and Open Range. Jeter is perhaps most known for his role as convicted felon Eduard Delacroix in The Green Mile, a role for which he was nominated along with the rest of the cast for a Screen Actors Guild Award.\n

In The Fisher King, Jeter portrayed \"an unnamed homeless cabaret singer\", and \"shimmies across the screen with boundless confidence, turning what might have been a grotesque, or at least merely humorous, part into something noble, even indomitable... In a film unafraid of big acting, Jeter goes bigger than anyone.\"[4]\n

He also played Mr. Noodle's brother, Mister Noodle, on Sesame Street from 2000 to 2003. He appeared in an episode of Touched by an Angel in 1999 as Gus, an insurance salesman who arrives in Las Vegas, in the episode \"The Man Upstairs\".[5] His last two appearances were in the films Open Range and The Polar Express. Both films were in post-production at the time of his death and, when released, contained a dedication to his memory.[6][7] The season 35 premiere of Sesame Street, a special entitled \"The Street We Live On\", was similarly dedicated to Jeter.\n

\n

Personal life and death[edit]

\n

Jeter was gay and met his partner, Sean Blue, in 1995; they were together until Jeter's death in 2003. Jeter was HIV-positive and disclosed his diagnosis in a 1997 interview on Entertainment Tonight. Despite this, he remained healthy for many years.[8] Jeter also announced while accepting his 1990 Tony that he recovered from substance abuse.[9]\n

On March 30, 2003, Jeter was found dead by Blue at his home in Hollywood Hills, California. He was 50.[10] Blue said that Jeter died of complications after an epileptic seizure. Jeter was cremated, and his ashes were given to charity.[11]\n

The Hatton Garden Job, also known as One Last Heist, is a 2017 British crime film. The film is a dramatization of real-life events in April 2015, when the Hatton Garden Safe Deposit Company, based underground in the Hatton Garden area of central London, was burgled by four elderly men, all experienced thieves. The film was directed by Ronnie Thompson[1] and stars Larry Lamb, Matthew Goode, and Joely Richardson.\n

The film had its West End of London premi\u00e8re at the Curzon, Shaftesbury Avenue, on 11 April 2017.[citation needed]\n

\n\n

Outline[edit]

\n

Larry Lamb plays the 76-year-old Brian Reader, taking the lead among the four \"codgers\" who carry out the operation, with the title of Guvnor, while the other three at the sharp end of the raid are Danny Jones (Phil Daniels), Terry Perkins (David Calder), and Kenny Collins (Clive Russell).[2] Apart from more routine thievery going back at least to his first conviction in 1975, Reader had previously laundered the proceeds of the Brink's-Mat robbery of 1983. The burglars enter the underground premises over an Easter bank holiday weekend through a lift shaft, then drill through the thick walls of the vault with an industrial power drill, proceeding over the following two days to rifle through dozens of deposit boxes. The burglar alarm goes off, but the police decide not to attend. The robbery remains undetected until staff return to work the following week, and newspapers are soon calling it the biggest theft in English history, as the total stolen has a reported value of up to \u00a3200 million \u2014 although the gang of seven (who have a combined age of 448) don't believe it.[2]\n

Matthew Goode plays the organiser of the robbery, known only as XXX, while Joely Richardson is Erzebet Zslondos, a glamorous Hungarian mobster who is pulling the strings, complete with an exotic accent and remarkable set of costumes.[2] A subplot centres on Zslondos and a corrupt ex-policeman, DCI Frank Baskin (Mark Harris).[3]\n

After an efficiently carried-out operation, the haul is divvied up, the Flying Squad of the Metropolitan Police (\"the Sweeney\") is called in, led by DCI Emma Carter (Sarah-Jane Crawford), and the insurers offer rewards for leads to crack the crime. Six weeks later, acting on information received, nine men are arrested, including Reader. Later, four other men are pulled in and charged with conspiracy to commit burglary. They then face the challenge of what (if anything) to say under questioning and the dilemma of whether to reveal the hiding places of the missing loot. Almost a year after they hit Hatton Garden, all but one of the men are found guilty and go to prison, Reader getting six years. Most do not take up the offer of shorter sentences for returning millions still unrecovered.\n

The leader, referred to in the film as \"XXX\", escapes justice \u2014 which at the time of shooting matched the story of the real-life Michael Seed (known as 'Basil').[4] Seed was later found guilty of both burglary and conspiracy to burgle, and was sentenced to ten years in prison for the former and eight years for the latter, the two running concurrently.[5]\n

Production[edit]

It was announced in June 2016 that Larry Lamb, Matthew Goode, Joely Richardson, and Phil Daniels had taken leading roles in the low budget film.[6]\n

\n

Reception[edit]

\n

On review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 18% based on reviews from 17 critics, with an average rating of 3.90/10.[7]\n

In negative reviews The Guardian called the film \"a piece of geezer nostalgia\" with a \"wocka-wocka retro-funk score\", but suggested that Phil Daniels might deserve an award for uttering the line \u201cthe biggest bling blag in history\u201d.[8] It also took the view that the film failed to keep faith with its grey power ethos by parachuting in an attractive young leader for the much older gang (Matthew Goode), who was simply an invention.\n

The Daily Telegraph deemed the film a Guy Ritchie pastiche and commented that \"This is entirely, even aggressively un-cinematic, and after a while begins to feel like a bizarre, Brechtian joke at the audience\u2019s expense: vast expanses of the film are, quite literally, just boring.\"[2] Metro's review found the production slow and clich\u00e9d and suggested that \"this is a film that ultimately proves to be every bit as opportunistic as the raid that initially inspired it.\"[9]\n

\nThe film magazine Empire was more positive,

The film is not without charm, thanks to engaging lead performances from a roster of solid British talent, from Larry Lamb to Phil Daniels, who can do lovable-rogue banter in their sleep. Early scenes of them plotting the heist are enjoyable if not exactly fresh, several exchanges raising a smile. Despite their best efforts, however, the film falters thanks to an inescapable fact... it\u2019s all a little dull.[3]

The Hatton Garden Job, also known as One Last Heist, is a 2017 British crime film. The film is a dramatization of real-life events in April 2015, when the Hatton Garden Safe Deposit Company, based underground in the Hatton Garden area of central London, was burgled by four elderly men, all experienced thieves. The film was directed by Ronnie Thompson[1] and stars Larry Lamb, Matthew Goode, and Joely Richardson.\n

The film had its West End of London premi\u00e8re at the Curzon, Shaftesbury Avenue, on 11 April 2017.[citation needed]\n

\n\n

Outline[edit]

\n

Larry Lamb plays the 76-year-old Brian Reader, taking the lead among the four \"codgers\" who carry out the operation, with the title of Guvnor, while the other three at the sharp end of the raid are Danny Jones (Phil Daniels), Terry Perkins (David Calder), and Kenny Collins (Clive Russell).[2] Apart from more routine thievery going back at least to his first conviction in 1975, Reader had previously laundered the proceeds of the Brink's-Mat robbery of 1983. The burglars enter the underground premises over an Easter bank holiday weekend through a lift shaft, then drill through the thick walls of the vault with an industrial power drill, proceeding over the following two days to rifle through dozens of deposit boxes. The burglar alarm goes off, but the police decide not to attend. The robbery remains undetected until staff return to work the following week, and newspapers are soon calling it the biggest theft in English history, as the total stolen has a reported value of up to \u00a3200 million \u2014 although the gang of seven (who have a combined age of 448) don't believe it.[2]\n

Matthew Goode plays the organiser of the robbery, known only as XXX, while Joely Richardson is Erzebet Zslondos, a glamorous Hungarian mobster who is pulling the strings, complete with an exotic accent and remarkable set of costumes.[2] A subplot centres on Zslondos and a corrupt ex-policeman, DCI Frank Baskin (Mark Harris).[3]\n

After an efficiently carried-out operation, the haul is divvied up, the Flying Squad of the Metropolitan Police (\"the Sweeney\") is called in, led by DCI Emma Carter (Sarah-Jane Crawford), and the insurers offer rewards for leads to crack the crime. Six weeks later, acting on information received, nine men are arrested, including Reader. Later, four other men are pulled in and charged with conspiracy to commit burglary. They then face the challenge of what (if anything) to say under questioning and the dilemma of whether to reveal the hiding places of the missing loot. Almost a year after they hit Hatton Garden, all but one of the men are found guilty and go to prison, Reader getting six years. Most do not take up the offer of shorter sentences for returning millions still unrecovered.\n

The leader, referred to in the film as \"XXX\", escapes justice \u2014 which at the time of shooting matched the story of the real-life Michael Seed (known as 'Basil').[4] Seed was later found guilty of both burglary and conspiracy to burgle, and was sentenced to ten years in prison for the former and eight years for the latter, the two running concurrently.[5]\n

Production[edit]

It was announced in June 2016 that Larry Lamb, Matthew Goode, Joely Richardson, and Phil Daniels had taken leading roles in the low budget film.[6]\n

\n

Reception[edit]

\n

On review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 18% based on reviews from 17 critics, with an average rating of 3.90/10.[7]\n

In negative reviews The Guardian called the film \"a piece of geezer nostalgia\" with a \"wocka-wocka retro-funk score\", but suggested that Phil Daniels might deserve an award for uttering the line \u201cthe biggest bling blag in history\u201d.[8] It also took the view that the film failed to keep faith with its grey power ethos by parachuting in an attractive young leader for the much older gang (Matthew Goode), who was simply an invention.\n

The Daily Telegraph deemed the film a Guy Ritchie pastiche and commented that \"This is entirely, even aggressively un-cinematic, and after a while begins to feel like a bizarre, Brechtian joke at the audience\u2019s expense: vast expanses of the film are, quite literally, just boring.\"[2] Metro's review found the production slow and clich\u00e9d and suggested that \"this is a film that ultimately proves to be every bit as opportunistic as the raid that initially inspired it.\"[9]\n

\nThe film magazine Empire was more positive,

The film is not without charm, thanks to engaging lead performances from a roster of solid British talent, from Larry Lamb to Phil Daniels, who can do lovable-rogue banter in their sleep. Early scenes of them plotting the heist are enjoyable if not exactly fresh, several exchanges raising a smile. Despite their best efforts, however, the film falters thanks to an inescapable fact... it\u2019s all a little dull.[3]
