"This post brought tears to my eyes, Michael. Thanks for the shout out. FAME was a wonderful experience for me. And the character of Ian Ware was one of my favorite creations - you brought him to life better than I ever could have imagined. My only regret about the last show is that I had written a lovely subplot for Ian, Bruno and Shorofsky. You guys did a wonderful job realizing it on film, but Debbie Allen's Director's Cut of the episode was almost 20 minutes too long. We tried to convince MGM to air the finale as a 90 minute Special, but the syndication contracts prohibited any episode over 60 minutes. Debbie and I were heartbroken, but the powers-to-be forced us to cut that great subplot. I think Debbie kept a copy of her cut. If you ever meet up with her again, you might ask her to share it with you."
