Becket Cook was living the high life out in Hollywood, working as a set designer with famous actors, models and singers like Meryl Streep, Carrie Underwood, Nicole Kidman, Oprah Winfrey and Cindy Crawford. An out and proud gay-identified man, Cook attended pride parades and relished seeing the culture rapidly move from acceptance to celebration of homosexuality.
As Cook describes in his autobiography, A Change of Affection: A Gay Man’s Incredible Story of Redemption, he was a successful production designer, working on photo shoots in Chicago, New York, Hong Kong and Beijing. He flew to fashion weeks in Paris, went to the Grammys and attended the Governor’s ball after the Oscars. |
