Mindy Cohn in Violet Tendencies
Why does it go without saying that former The Facts of Life star Mindy Cohn, who played Natalie, was born to play the self-described "oldest living fag hag" at the center of the new romantic comedy Violet Tendencies, out this month on DVD?
Maybe it's the fact that she got all the good jokes on that old sitcom, but fewer storylines than the other cast members. Or maybe it was her impish, irreverent air.
I'm not sure why, but you know it's true, don't you?
And sure enough, Cohn is terrific in the role of Violet, an aging New York fruit fly whose gay friends are all settling down, even as she struggles to find a single straight man who (a) isn't a total freak and (b) is interested in her.
After a while, she even starts to wonder if maybe her gay friends are...

HollywoodNews.com: I’m starting to watch some of the Outfest movies that will be screening at this year’s festival which kicks off July 8.
Last night, after watching back-to-back episodes of Hell’s Kitchen (I just can’t quit that damned show!), I slipped Violet Tendencies into the DVD player and hoped the for the best.
The movie is directed by Casper Andreas from a screenplay by Jesse Archer in what is their third film together. Both have roles in the film but the star, thankfully, is the marvelous Mindy Cohn who shines in just about any scene she’s in.
Mindy is Violet, the self-described “fag hag” who is loved by her circle of gay friends in New York City but lonely for a man of her own.
“I turn 40 this year. 40! I’m the oldest living fag hag,” she says at one point. “All my life...

Embrem Entertainment will produce the comedy "Bye Bye, Fruit Fly," spinning off several of the characters from the company's gay-themed movies "Slutty Summer" and "A Four Letter Word."
The film will be the third collaboration between writer Jesse Archer and director Casper Andreas, who collaborated on the two previous films.
Andreas also will reprise the role of Luke, whom he played in the first two films. The story centers on a female character named Audrey, who attempts to leave her gay friends behind as she seeks a man of her own.
Having raised half of the project's $200,000 budget, the filmmakers are eying a production start in May.
Embrem is also producing the dramedy "Going Down in La-la Land," based on the book by Andy Zeffere, which Andreas also will direct.
The company also has picked up worldwide distribution rights to "The Big Gay Musical," which it will play at film festivals in the summer.
