NEW FROM EFSP: RUPERT EVERETT

New from our friends at European Film Star Postcards: Rupert Everett

British actor Rupert Everett (1959) grew up in privileged circumstances, but the wry, sometimes arrogant intellectual was a rebel from the very beginning. He had his breakthrough in Another Country (1984) as an openly gay student at an English public school in the 1930s. He has since appeared in many other great films including The Comfort of Strangers (1990), My Best Friend's Wedding (1997) and An Ideal Husband (1999).
