Wow! he is alive. Some years back someone told me he passed and I was so sad . When I was a kid I remember his words something lik - : " I like to make things easy... like its (diving) natural to me". And all my life thereon I emulated that thought in my work... always working so that things are made to look easy.... and it helped me a lot. Of course, being Gay, he was my first idol ... a time when I never knew I could meet another.

Greg is alive and well. An extraordinary human being and an inspiration. Working with him on "WATERCOLORS" was one of the highlights of my career. Thank you Greg!

[WatercolorsMovie]

At the moment, "Watercolors" is in post-production. We hope to be finished before the end of the year and doing the festival circuit in 2008.

This guy is a hero. I wish i were more like him.

Greg is still gorgeous! As a young girl watching him dive, I thought he was the cutest guy around! He's the greatest diver of all time! Watching the Olympics today reminds me of the greatness of Greg. We are so lucky to have him as an Olympian and a person! God Bless!

First time I knew Greg Louganis was several years ago and I was only a junior middle school student.I kew him from a book written about homo.He was highly praised as a hero in Olympic and a brave man who dare to come out and be himself under the great pressure of all aspects.I knew he had a very lonely and unhappy childhood and a tough life with his boyfriend who even raped him and infect him AIDS.But Greg is always my idiol who gives me power and courage even in the gloomy days.Love him forever

This was a great movie I cried tho it hit home with me.. My first crush ever took her life after her mother told us we can not see each other becouse it is wrong.. I still love her to this day I love how the end gives a little of a smile even tho I was still balling my eyes out.. Thank you for this movie..

@WatercolorsMovie Wow! I heard the same story too, that he is dead. Good to hear that he's still alive. I have his original birth certificate from Samoa if this is the right guy.
