In 2009, Gentry wrote and starred in the TV movie musical "Gentry de Paris Revue" at the Casino de Paris, directed by Philippe Calvario. The "Gentry de Paris Revue" ran for two weeks in Paris in September 2009, and it was a Ziegfeld Follies-style theatre extravaganza and the first Grande Revue in Paris 40 years.
