My latest for @AtlantaMagazine: Over the years, I spent hours interviewing him here. While he had rooms full of Versace furniture, we always sat at his kitchen table to talk. The same table where he created the Elton John AIDS Foundation. https://t.co/s2iQwu4c4l

Huge thanks to @GeneralHospital vet @kinshriner for such a terrific and heartfelt conversation about his longtime pal Jacklyn Zeman. https://t.co/GyR3FZbepI
