If I Were A STRAIGHT Man? (Harvey as Tevye)

Web extra: Improbably enough, the Fiddler on the Roof score is sizzling hot again, not only because Harvey Fierstein will be taking over the lead role in the Broadway revival in January, but because the next single off Gwen Stefani's Love Angel Music Baby CD will be "Rich Girl," which liberally borrows from the old-time musical's "If I Were a Rich Man," with help from Eve. So much for "Tradition."

1. So? He's an actor, isn't he?

Don't the annals of theatrical history contain other instances of gays playing straights?

I remember his appearance on Letterman years and years ago, when he said gay men and lesbians have been playing straight roles since the dawn of time, but let a straight man put on some mascara and he gets an Oscar! (This was not long after the movie Kiss of the Spider Woman.)
