Marc Malkin Senior Editor, Culture and Events British actor Stephen Fry remembers being about 10 years old in the late 1960s when he first saw a production of Oscar Wilde’s play “The Importance of Being Earnest” on television. He immediately checked out the “Complete Works of Oscar Wilde” from the mobile library that visited his town in rural England. “I went back and said, ‘Have you got anything else?’ And [the librarian] said, “Well, that’s the complete works,’” Fry tells me on the latest episode of the “Just for Variety” podcast.
“I searched the shelves and I found this book, ‘The Trials of Oscar Wilde.’ I thought, that’s really weird. I thought trials as in trials and tribulations, maybe he had a very unhappy life. So I took the book out and she stamped it out for me looking a bit doubtful as to whether I should read it.
I didn’t understand why.” Fry learned that Wilde was charged and convicted of gross indecency because of his same-sex relationships. He was sentenced to two years hard labor in 1895. Upon release, he fled to France, where he died in misery and poverty.
“That’s how I grew up expecting life to be. There was just no other way,” Fry says. “I was preparing myself somehow to hide my identity and to live a life in which such things were not possible.
Then by a miracle, my life, my growing up coincided with a change of attitude.” Now, 66, Fry is one of the OGs on the rather short list of gay actors who came out decades ago. His career spans theater, television, radio and film. He’s an actor, comedian, writer and director.
