Richard Gere Trivia
|
- Is referenced in the 2001 hit song "Crying at the Discothéque" by Swedish dance group Alcazar.
- Some of his earliest photos, known as "head shots" were taken by boyhood friend and struggling photographer Herb Ritts. The people handling Gere were so impressed with the photos, they began hiring Ritts for other assignments and he is now a top photographer.
- Agreed to a small role in the HBO film And the Band Played On (1993) (TV) despite the prevalent belief in the film industry it would be detrimental to his career. Subsequently, stars like Steve Martin, Alan Alda, Phil Collins and Anjelica Huston were willing to appear.
- Listed as one of twelve "Promising New Actors of 1977" in John Willis' Screen World, Vol. 29. [1977]
- People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive [1999]
