Maybe now someone will finally release "Some Of My Best Friends", her 1971 movie, on DVD.

Goodnight funny lady.

Rue—an undeniable gay icon—was also a longtime supporter of GLAAD, and long before the organization was founded, she publicly associated herself with gay acceptance. In 1971, she starred in the little-known film Some of My Friends Are…, about a group of gay men who meet up with their female friends at a bar in Greenwich Village on Christmas Eve.

My favorite Blanche line was "I've never disappointed so many men since daddy tore down the tree house"
