A very queer vacay in historic Savannah LAWRENCE FERBER | Contributing WriterCourtesy of National LGBT Media Association The ghost of Kevin Spacey haunts this room.
Actually, it’s the ghost of the rich, gay antiques dealer and preservationist Jim Williams, whom Spacey portrayed in the 1997 film Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, although the latter seems somehow more likely to impart chills and cringe these days.
I’m touring the Mercer-Williams House, one of Savannah, Georgia’s most famous 19th-century homes, including the actual study where Williams shot and killed his hustler boy toy, Danny Hansford (played by Jude Law in the movie, and I’m sure many queens would welcome his specter), reportedly in self-defense.
