One of the few women-a tall blonde doctor-approaches with her new husband, to offer a wedding picture. Now come the greetings, and the presents, as Kramer takes his place at the head of the table. He is 57, an age he did not expect to reach four years ago, when he learned of his H.I.V. “He’s got to make an entrance.” Finally a cheer goes up, and a beaming, healthy-looking Larry Kramer, white-bearded and with a bit of a paunch, basks in the applause. “Of course he’ll be late,” says one of the few older friends. Nearly 65 of them, mostly ACT UPers in their 20s with short-cropped hair and tell-tale earrings, sit Last Supper-style at a crazily long table in a Greenwich Village restaurant, awaiting the man of the hour. In recognition of his public service, Kramer has been awarded the Public Service Award from Common Cause.The faithful have gathered. He co-founded two major AIDS advocacy organizations, the Gay Men's Health Crisis and ACT-UP (AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power). He was also a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize ( The Destiny of Me). He has been recognized with several awards and nominations for his writing including an Oscar nomination ('Women In Love') and two OBIE awards ( The Destiny of Me). Most of his later works, including Just Say No - A Play About A Farce, The Destiny of Me, and Reports from the Holocaust: The Story of an AIDS Activist, focus on this issue. It was one of the first major theatre pieces written about the AIDS epidemic. His next play to be produced was The Normal Heart, which premiered at the Public Theater in 1985. His first play Sissies' Scrapbook, was produced at Playwrights Horizons in 1973. In addition to working in film, Kramer wrote for theatre. He also wrote the screenplays for the films 'Women in Love' and 'Lost Horizon'. He later co-produced and co-wrote 'Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush', which became very popular in Britain. After graduating from Yale in 1957, Kramer began his career in the film industry as a script editor.
