Cheyenne Jackson recalls keeping his kids safe during L.A. fires: “I’ll never forget the look in my son’s eyes”
A post shared by C H E Y E N N E J A C K S O N (@mrcheyennejackson)Thousands of people are now having to deal with losing their homes, including many who work in the creative industries.Longtime Hollywood publicist Harlan Boll said he and his partner had seen their Altadena home destroyed by the Eaton Fire.“This house would have been the same age as Jimmy Carter,” Boll told ABC. “We lived here for 20 years and this was also our 25th anniversary.
So it’s kind of a double, triple, quadruple whammy.” “I was lucky. I got a lot out. I’m angry at myself for forgetting one trunk that had a collection from Margaret O’Brien to Dinah Shore to Rose Marie to Carol Channing to a host of others–Rita Moreno,” said Boll. “If we were to sit down and try to figure things out, there were probably hundreds of items that we would have loved to have saved.
I managed to save Carol Channing’s tiara from ‘Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.’ That was the last thing I think I shoved in the car.
I’m very, very blessed to have gotten as much as I had out of here.”Queer comic Gina Yashere also took to Instagram to reveal the home she shared with her partner was destroyed.“Despite this f*ckin devastating loss, I’m glad all our friends and neighbours are safe.
