CONSEQUENTLY, THEY ARE OFTEN ATTRACTED TO MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE ENTIRELY OPEN WH THEM, EVEN CRIL OF THEM. I BELIEVE GABLE FELT THAT WAY ABOUT LOMBARD. AS FAR AS I KNOW GABLE AND BALL HAD NO RELATNSHIP WHATSOEVER. I DO NOT EVEN KNOW IF THEY EVER EVEN MET. QUE POSSIBLY THEY DID NOT.

PEOPLE POSNS OF POWER OR FAME GET FED UP WH SYPHANTS (OR SO I HAVE READ), SO THEY ARE OFTEN IMPRSED BY SOMEONE WHO CHOOS TO NOT FAWN OVER THEM. THE OLD SAYG, ‘NOBODY LIK A KISS-ASS’ IS A TE ONE.

ALLEN SEPTEMBER 6, 2015 AT 12:55 PM I THK I FALLY GOT YOUR MENT ABOUT SYPHANTS, PECIALLY AFTER WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT CAROLE LOMBARD. MAYBE GABLE FIGURED THAT BALL WAS A “NO GO”, KNEW ABOUT BOGIE, OR JT WASN’T TERTED.REPLY ALAN ROYLE SEPTEMBER 7, 2015 AT 2:54 AM I MT HAVE EXPRSED MYSELF UNCLEARLY. MANY FAMO PEOPLE, PECIALLY THE ENTERTAMENT FIELD, ARE SURROUND BY ‘Y MEN’ WHO AGREE WH EVERYTHG THEY SAY. THAT IS WHAT I MEANT BY ‘SYPHANTS’. CONSEQUENTLY, THEY ARE OFTEN ATTRACTED TO MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE ENTIRELY OPEN WH THEM, EVEN CRIL OF THEM. I BELIEVE GABLE FELT THAT WAY ABOUT LOMBARD. AS FAR AS I KNOW GABLE AND BALL HAD NO RELATNSHIP WHATSOEVER. I DO NOT EVEN KNOW IF THEY EVER EVEN MET. QUE POSSIBLY THEY DID NOT. I RELL READG THAT HENRY FONDA HAD NEVER MET KATHARE HEPBURN UNTIL THEY MA ‘ON GOLN POND’ TOGETHER, EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD BOTH BEEN INS HOLLYWOOD FOR 50 YEARS OR SO.REPLY S.

PEOPLE POSNS OF POWER OR FAME GET FED UP WH SYPHANTS (OR SO I HAVE READ), SO THEY ARE OFTEN IMPRSED BY SOMEONE WHO CHOOS TO NOT FAWN OVER THEM. THE OLD SAYG, ‘NOBODY LIK A KISS-ASS’ IS A TE ONE.

” The young Gable rpond by fashng a macho-stud meanor and projectg dad’s disgt onto the many homosexuals he met and worked wh. And thor David Bret (“Joan Crawford: Hollywood Martyr”) mak clear that que a few gays and lbians populated Hollywood’s soundstag and swimmg thor tags virtually everyone who shows up here as straight, gay or bisexual, the majory fallg to the latter two tegori. Like prev acunts, this one alleg that early his reer Gable was “gay for pay” and for reer squired olr women, some of them perhaps closet lbians, and had close personal, possibly sexual relatnships wh a number of openly gay men.
Josephe DillonIn 1925, when Clark was a stgglg young actor tryg to ga a toehold the dtry, he participated a brief sexual relatnship wh Hollywood star and notor gay William Ha. He was certaly not homosexual.
After all, Billy was a nstant remr that the ‘Kg’ had a ‘one-off’ homosexual enunter wh him way back LombardIn 1949 Clark married Sylvia Ashley, after his marriage proposal was turned down 1948 by Nancy Davis, who later married Ronald Reagan and beme Ameri’s First Lady. 30, 2008David Bret’s angle on Clark Gable is this: Gable was “gay for pay” and “rough tra, ” and he enjoyed havg sex “for bucks.
HOLLYWOOD'S GOLN AGE GAYS. THE LIST IS LONG.
Wh clear disgt, he also lls Gable a hypocre for matag a macho sex-symbol image and for engagg “homophobic rantgs, ” even though he’d slept wh men.
Why would Gable have been “tormented” by his bisexual past if Hollywood were as overn by gay stars as the book impli? If Gable ed gay sex for reer advancement, why would he have bedd men like the aspirg actor Earle Larimore, who had no more than an nt on Broadway to his cred, and the “slab of beefke” Rod La Rocque, hardly a stud bigwig? The gay subculture of early Hollywood has gaed more attentn recently thanks to the Netflix seri Hollywood.
Knowg as much as we do about some LGBT stars is a feat nsirg how much rewrg and verg up the Hollywood stud heads did to everyone they managed, whether gay or straight.
