Editing Jobriath (section)

===Cole Berlin, cabaret and The Chelsea Hotel===
In January 1975, Jobriath announced his retirement from the music industry and moved into a pyramid-topped rooftop apartment at the [[Chelsea Hotel]] in New York City. He attempted to resume his acting career, and was invited to audition for the role of [[Al Pacino]]'s lover in the film ''[[Dog Day Afternoon]]''. According to keyboard player [[Hayden Wayne]], Jobriath had the script for ''Dog Day Afternoon'' backstage at a concert at [[Nassau Coliseum]], and claimed he did not want to do the film due to the character's wearing of a dress.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3E1dAheYe0 |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211212/-3E1dAheYe0| archive-date=December 12, 2021 |url-status=live|title=Hayden Wayne-THE JOBRIATH INTERVIEW-December 28, 2009-A STORY OF SEXUAL BETRAYAL|date=February 9, 2018 |via=YouTube}}{{cbignore}}</ref>{{better source needed|date=July 2020}} Calling himself "Cole Berlin" (a play on both [[Cole Porter]] and [[Irving Berlin]]), he worked as a cabaret singer<ref name=":0">{{cite web|last=Thompson |first=Dave |url={{AllMusic|class=artist|id=p18532/biography|pure_url=yes}} |title=((( Jobriath > Biography ))) |website=[[AllMusic]] |date=December 14, 1946 |access-date=May 9, 2010}}</ref> at a restaurant called the Covent Garden, as well as clubs and cabarets, augmenting his income with occasional prostitution.<ref name="autogenerated1"/> In a 1979 interview, he said the Jobriath persona had "committed suicide in a drug, alcohol and publicity overdose".<ref name = Chiu/>
