Hate to spoil this for all the hetero gals here and guys. ....but all those above (men) were rumored closeted or just outward bi, (Brando told about his exploits), same goes for James Dean, Burt Lancaster; John Wayne is even rumoured to have gotten his career from giving producers blow jobs. I've always found that satisfying that the scumbag who entered so many homes as a machine "hero" portraying evil vindictive disgusting, phony imagery of native people was a sycophantic career driven asshole willing to blow men for work. I hope it's true. Same goes for the wife he beat. Oh never mind. NOT ALL OF THE ABOVE, i didn't see Mickey Hargitay....uber hetero [Edited 11/15/17 7:37am]
I've heard all the rumors too about whether some were gay, straight or bi......but I just don't care, Dean, McQueen, Brando and Newman were hot back in the day and were great actors
I don't know many men who wore suites as well as Clark Gable. Mr. Gable wore the clothes not the other wat around... clean a the board of health.
PROOF had to correct my crazy ass typing cuz I was looking at him! I just purchased all the moveis Mr. Gable made with Myrna Loy. Ms. Loy big fan of hers also.
FYI: If you're in Los Angeles/So Cal... there's a documentary screening on the West Coast at the NUART THEATRE in West LA.
DEC: 8 - 15th... BOMBSHELL: THE HEDY LAMARR STORY
i PLAN to check it out.
Not only was she one of the most beautiful women in the movies, she was absolutely brilliant. Patented an idea during WWII for a torpedo guidance system that became the basis for bluetooth. Of course, no one ever did anything with her idea then because she was a woman.
Which means Ms. Lamarr has a firm grasp a firm standing of quantum physics. I recall an interview before Ms. Larmarr death ---she said, she never wanted to be an actress but it was the only avenue towards independence. Ms. Lamarr said her parents always told her.... her looks would be her meal ticket to a very comfortable life.
214 said: Depending on which bio you read. Some say bi, while others say that he got roles on TV via the casting couch via Rodgers Brackets a producer.
But it was Elizabeth Tayloir who said he was bi and that he was sexually abused as a child by a catholic priest.
Yuuuuup I've read about that too....who knows what is the truth and what is a created mythology. Like I said in an earlier post I just don't care, to me he was beautiful and a great actor. His performance in East of Eden (1955) touched me the most. especially the last scene with his father.
Furious Love: Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, and the Marriage of the Century (2009) IMO Richard Burton said it best ... "Monty, Elizabeth likes me but she loves you.” I loved them in A Place In The Sun (1951) and Raintree County (1957) and Sudenly Last Summer (1959)....and yes Monty was beautiful and a great actor.
Okay, wait a minute. You don't know who that person is (it's Montgomery Clift), but you're sure she said that about James Dean and NOT about Montgomery Clift?
Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift were best friends. If she said that about anybody (I have my doubts she said it about Dean unless you have a source), it'd be him.
We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

"When Jimmy was 11 and his mother passed away, he began to be molested by his minister. I think that haunted him the rest of his life," alleged Taylor. "In fact, I know it did. We talked about it a lot. During Giant we'd stay up nights and talk and talk, and that was one of the things he confessed to me."

Is that her saying he's bi, or is that her saying he had a tramatizing childhood event? Is being haunted by something slang for being bi?

Yes, you are right she doesn't say it here, but she told me that once some time ago she invited me for dinner.
