  • Cumming, Alan (B. 1965) by Linda Rapp
    Cumming, Alan (b. 1965) by Linda Rapp Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Alan Cumming. Detail of Entry Copyright © 2005, glbtq, inc. a photograph by Angela Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Brinskele (© Angela Brinskele). Versatile actor Alan Cumming has performed a wide variety of roles on stage, screen, Image courtesy Angela Brinskele. and television. He has earned numerous awards for his acting and also for his support of glbtq causes. The younger son of a forester and a homemaker, Alan Cumming was born January 27, 1965 in Aberfeldy, Perthshire, Scotland. He spent his first year in the neighboring town of Dunkeld, where his father worked on a large estate. The family then moved to Fassfern on the west coast of the country, and three years later settled on the east coast, on another estate near Carnoustie. As a child growing up on an isolated estate he lacked playmates--his only sibling was six years older than he--and so he amused himself by acting out stories of his own invention. His cast, he recalled, consisted of "me and my dog. And imaginary others." After graduating from Carnoustie High School, Cumming worked for a year at a publishing company in Dundee, initially in the fiction department and then interviewing bands for a pop culture magazine called TOPS. Cumming then enrolled in the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in Glasgow. While attending the academy Cumming met and married fellow student Hilary Lyon. After graduating in 1985, Cumming and a friend, Forbes Masson, developed a stand-up comedy act that proved extremely popular.

  • Singer Kristin Chenoweth Speaks up for Ose with Migraine
    CELEBRITY PROFILES DECEMBER 2019/JANUARY 2020 BY LAUREN PAIGE KENNEDY Singer Kristin Chenoweth Speaks Up for ~ose with Migraine Chenoweth says migraine and Meniere's disease almost ended her career. Now she advocates for others with these conditions. Stage lights, flashing cameras of paparazzi, air travel, and adoring fans seeking selfies are all in a day's work for actress and singer Kristin Chenoweth. They're also the reasons the Broadway legend, recording artist, and TV star almost retired in her thirties. Identifying triggers and finding the right combination of medications help actress and singer Kristin Chenoweth manage her migraine attacks. Photograph by Michael Larsen The performer says light, even from a smartphone's tiny camera, can bring on a migraine with aura—a temporary visual loss or disturbance—intense nausea, and crippling head pain, as well as room-spinning vertigo. Now 51, Chenoweth has battled these symptoms half her life. Her first attack happened mid-performance with the Virginia Symphony when she was 25. She lost peripheral vision and saw strobing flashes, or what she refers to as "kaleidoscope eyes." The viselike head pain that followed left her "crawling off the stage," she says, only to retreat to her hotel room. There, she vomited repeatedly and experienced extreme light sensitivity and dizziness, even as the worst headache of her life did not abate for days. "I didn't know what hit me," says Chenoweth, who is readying for the release of For the Girls, her seventh album, with an all-star roster of female singers including Ariana Grande, Dolly Parton, and Reba McIntire.
