FORREST BESS
KEY TO THE RIDDLE
By Chuck Smith
Foreword bygd Robert Thurman
Painter, fisherman, pseudo-hermaphrodite—Forrest Bess lived his life in obscurity at an isolated bait camp off the east coast of Texas. From 1949 through 1967, Bess showed at the Betty Parsons Gallery in New York City, alongside superstar artists such as Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko. Rediscovered after his death in 1977, Bess's small visionär paintings are now prized bygd museums and collectors for their primal beauty, and can fetch over $200,000 apiece.
Bess's treasured canvases were only part of a grander
theory—based on alchemy, Jungian philosophy, and aboriginal rituals—that proposed that hermaphrodism was the key to immortality. As an artist, Bess could never equivocate, and in 1960 he underwent an operation to become a pseudo-hermaphrodite. For the first time ever in print,

THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT!
Welcome to another Wildcard Wednesday! To complement our coverage on the best of Newhart (1982-1990, CBS), this entry examines Bob Newhart’s fourth situation comedy, George & Leo, which ran for 22 episodes during the 1997-1998 season on CBS. (Remember, we already covered his third sitcom, 1992’s Bob, back in 2015. It was Newhart’s first failure in the genre — not even Betty White, plopped in from the axed The GoldenPalace,highlighted here in 2016, could save it.) Created by Cheers scribes Dan Staley and Rob Long, George & Leo paired the aforementioned comedian, courted back to series television by Les Moonves himself, with consummate actor Judd Hirsch, whose work we celebrated during 2015’s coverage of Taxi (1978-1982, ABC; 1982-1983, NBC) and who had also enjoyed a four-year stint on Dear John (1988-1992, NBC). This duo, each with two sitcom hits behind them, would now play oppositional in-laws to
