The Kevin Spacey Foundation UK will close in the wake of the sexual harassment allegations against the actor.
Trustees of the charity said the work of the organisation is "no longer viable" in a statement posted on its official website said.
The foundation, which helped to identify and encourage young, emerging artists and give them training and resources in order to thrive in the acting industry, was set up in 2011 by Spacey.
"The trustees have reached the conclusion that the work of the Kevin Spacey Foundation UK is no longer viable and as such the foundation will be closing on the 28 February 2018."
The foundation is reported to have a branch in the US, but this was not mentioned in the statement.
The Kevin Spacey Foundation UK was run by Steven Winter, who worked with Spacey at the Old Vic theatre in London.
@mastik8 And THIS is what I love about the CDAN community...the perfect gumbo of emotions the comments can elicit, especially on the sordid abuse blinds. Laughter through the anger and sadness👍🏼
Im calling bullshit on this "blind". The point of a blind is to tell the story BEFORE the news gets out, not the same day, particularly AFTER the story is reported by MSM. CDAN has done this before. This site does have its credibility but times like this just reduce it to a silly rag.
Some wierdo from NAMBLA used to call Howard Stern. Super creepy voice with even creepier voice messgae on Nambla phone. Guess they've gone undergrown for sure.
to answer the question of what the logo (spacey foundation) means: it represents an elevator. Jack Lemon was Spacey's mentor in the biz. He believed that once you "get there," you send the elevator back down for the next person so they can also "move on up." So to speak. It's an elevator moving up with the next person in it. I used to adore Spacey (yes, I always knew he was gay but it's not like I was going to meet/marry him anyway)... but now I'm sickened by the fact that I ever thought he was anything good.
Spacey?
ReplyDeleteSheen?

ReplyDeleteI sure hope NAMBLA isn't a non-profit

ReplyDeleteI don't think Sheen has his act together enough or the money to orchestrate that.
Definitely Spacey. It was just announced today that his non-profit/foundation in the UK shut down because it was no longer "viable."
ReplyDeleteBut Spacey would be former A+, wouldnt he?

ReplyDeleteBingo! I was thinking this could be a lot of people, we just need to figure the charity. 👍
Victims of teens...wha?

ReplyDeleteGross. "Young, emerging artists" receiving "training and resources" aka forcible sodomy I'm sure.
I don't understand the logo:

It's the tent his pants makes when he is mentoring a young boy.
DeleteI think you meant "teen victims" and not "victims of teens"?
ReplyDeleteSay what you will but thanks to Kevin Spacey several of them now know how to successfully milk a cow while blindfolded with one hand.

Delete@Lovely, cut Enty some slack, he's a busy guy. Ever wonder how he knows exactly about everyone doing coke, eh? ;)
ReplyDeleteHonest question: what's with theatre and weird sex stuff?
ReplyDeleteA more long standing question...What's with theatre and breaking a leg?
Delete@sandybrook...... Big hee-haw from me over the NAMBLA comment.
