comic book has more than a few simi-
larities to the Jewish folk tale of the
Golem. With a story set amidst an evil
Nazi threat during World War II, vet-
eran Jewish actor Ron Perlman, 54,
plays a monstrous-looking creature
who has to be careful to use his amaz-
ing powers for good.
TV viewers may remember Perlman
playing a similar character in the hit
series Beauty and the Beast.
As in Beauty, Perlman has a love
interest — this time it's former
Detroiter Selma Blair, 29. She has a

moment came when an audience mem-
ber asked Barbra why she was so popu-
lar with gays. Barbra said she thought
the reason was that she was an outsider
when she came up — she wasn't a
"Sandra Dee" type
and wouldn't change
her New York Jewish
persona to meet the
then expected
WASP-y mold.
Seems to us that
former Detroiter

Lipton, himself,
