Get Outta My Face: On the same day that “Six Degrees of Separation” garnered four Tony nominations, the convicted con artist who served as its inspiration was ordered by a New York judge to stay away from the playwright. David Hampton was told not to go near playwright John Guare after complaints that he threatened Guare’s life. Hampton, 27, claims he should get some financial benefit from the hit Broadway play since it is based on his experiences in 1983 when he bilked several prominent people by posing as actor Sidney Poitier’s son. He denies threatening Guare, but admitted, “We’ve had a few acrimonious conversations.”
