DeDe, that's what I was afraid of. I've never seen the movie---I always wanted to. However, so many of those made-for-TV movies that are cranked out right after someone dies do not do justice to the person or situation they represent. I would rather read a biography-I only wish I could get ahold of a copy of Freddie's mother's book!

I said this before, Only his friend Nat and his ex. could tell us if he was really like this.... They knew him better. If he was or wasn't, We have to remember that Freddie was a very young man. Males mature slower than females, Things were going very fast for him. Nothing will ever sway my adoration for Freddie!

As I said... The movie was really negative in form and it came from the Playboy story they wrote about him...And MOST if not all of it was NOT true.....Yes Freddie did drugs and yes he lived life on the edge...But come on....LikeI said, you need to red the Playgirl interview...And get things from the horses mouth....Freddie may not have told the whole trth in that interview,but he did tell enough...

If someone has the Playboy article that would be cool if they could scan it & put it online for all to see...

I'm half German and that sounds right for the spelling. I always took a lot of teasing for my last name (it was mucho worse than Freddie's)--I wonder if he got called "Pretzel" a lot?

thanks mariposal,
that's pretty funny "pretzel" . i was wondering the same thing too. because the name"pruetzel" sounds close to "pretzel". poor thing for being laughed at as a kid, i bet, the one's that laughed at him, wasn't laughing when he grew up into a "FINE" young man.

Okay here goes about his name?? No problem there..Just wanted a catchy name..ASked his mom to look in the phone book for anybody with the last name of Prince with a z in Mannhattan... There was none just with a c...So he chose Prinze with a Z like the prince of comedy...Pretty sharp
