It was the story of a romance between two men, and it was something I'd never seen before.
And Martin Sheen was so handsome. I dreamed about him for weeks!
In summer of 1981, I was working at a hotel in Tulsa, Oklahoma where they filmed the movie "Tex".
Martin Sheen's son Emilio Estevez was one of the stars of the film.
We became friendly. His dad came for a visit, and Emilio introduced me to him.
I was in such a state of euphoria that I could not speak. I just shook my head and smiled.

I was 15 when this was broadcast. OMG. It was amazing. I got an understanding of what I was feeling and that it was not just me. I'll never forget that. It would have been great with normal looking people - but Martin Sheen? Oh, yeah.
It so helped me get through the next years. Some of the guys in college told me "you seem so comfortable with this......" and I was, partly because of this movie.
In 1972.
Why hasn't it ever been re-run?
Oh, yeah, the tea-party. And we're only allowed to be comic relief now.
Again, just as an indicator of how bad it has become - this movie was shown in 1972. Sorry for you guys who missed the 1970s. It was incredible.
