• STANWYCK & TAYLOR – A LAVENR MARRIAGE? JULY 6, 2015 ADM DID YOU KNOW? 45 WHEN ME TO QUTNS ABOUT HER SEXUALY, BARBARA STANWYCK WAS THE OLD STUD DAYS’ EQUIVALENT OF TODAY’S TOM CISE. ANY MENTN OF HER SEXUAL PREFERENC WOULD IMMEDIATELY BRG FORTH VEILED THREATS OF LIGATN SHOULD THE SUBJECT BE PURSUED. CISE DO THE SAME THG TODAY. MENTN HIS NAME NNECTN WH HOMOSEXUALY OR BISEXUALY AND HE WILL THREATEN TO SUE. I RECENTLY READ A BOOK WHICH HE WAS NTUALLY REFERRED TO AS ‘THE HETEROSEXUAL TOM CISE’ THROUGHOUT, PERHAPS A HUNDRED TIM. THE SARSM WAS OBV BUT, APPARENTLY, THE WRERS FELT NECSARY JT TO KEEP ON THE SAFE SI.STANWYCK & WEBB  TANIC (1953)THERE IS ENOUGH EVINCE ABOUT MISS STANWYCK TO BE ABLE TO STATE WH SOME CERTATY THAT SHE WAS EHER A LBIAN OR BISEXUAL. OF URSE, THAT DO NOT MAKE HER ANY WAY UNIQUE HOLLYWOOD. FAR OM . ACTOR CLIFTON WEBB SCRIBED HER AS, ‘MY FAVOURE HOLLYWOOD LBIAN’. HER HBAND, ROBERT TAYLOR, TOLD SHELLEY WTERS OVER DNER THAT BARBARA WAS A LBIAN AND THAT THEY HAD SEPARATE BEDS. THEIRS WAS JT ONE OF DOZENS OF ‘LAVENR’ MARRIAG THE MOVIE MUNY. BARBARA’S OWN BGRAPHER, AXEL MADSEN, WROTE THAT ‘PEOPLE WOULD SWEAR THAT SHE WAS HOLLYWOOD’S BIGGT CLOSETED LBIAN’.LOOKG BACK, IS PERFECTLY UNRSTANDABLE WHY THE ‘MARRIAG OF NVENIENCE’ WERE NECSARY. HOMOSEXUALY, BISEXUALY AND LBIANISM WERE ILLEGAL EVERY STATE OF THE UNN. ANYONE PUBLICLY INTIFIED AS GAY WOULD NOT ONLY LOSE THEIR REER, BUT N THE REAL RISK OF SPENDG TIME THE ‘SLAMMER, MAKG LTLE ROCKS OUT OF BIG ON. IT WAS A MOST SER ISSUE. LIKE MANY LBIANS, STANWYCK WAS NOT AVERSE TO EXPERIMENTG WH THE OPPOSE SEX OM TIME TO TIME, PECIALLY A MUNY HABED BY SO MANY ‘BETIFUL PEOPLE’ OF BOTH SEX. SHE AND TAYLOR PROBABLY NSUMMATED THEIR RELATNSHIP ON OCSN, BUT NEHER HAD MUCH TERT THE OPPOSE SEX. HAVG SAID THAT, AFTER THEIR DIVORCE 1952 SHE EMBARKED ON A FOUR YEAR AFFAIR WH THE MUCH YOUNGER ROBERT WAGNER, BEGNG WHEN THEY APPEARED TOGETHER  TANIC.WAGNER & STANWYCK  TANICSTANWYCK WAS BORN RUBY STEVENS BROOKLYN, NEW YORK CY, 1907. HER MOTHER DIED WHEN SHE WAS FOUR, AND HER FATHER TOOK OFF TO HELP BUILD THE PANAMA CANAL AND WAS NEVER SEEN AGA. HE MAY HAVE SIMPLY ‘SHOT THROUGH’, OR HE MAY HAVE BEE ONE OF THE THOANDS OF YELLOW FEVER SUALTI ON THE PROJECT. OF THE 26,000 WORKERS ON THE NAL 21,000 WERE HOSPALIZED FOR EHER YELLOW FEVER OR MALARIA. WE WILL NEVER KNOW. RUBY AND HER BROTHERS AND SISTERS WERE FOSTERED OUT SEVERAL TIM. SHE LEFT SCHOOL AT 14, GAED WORK AS A DANCE STCTOR AT TEXAS GUAN’S LBIAN SPEAK-EASY, WHERE SHE MET JOAN CRAWFORD AND TALLULAH BANKHEAD WHO WERE REGULARS. BANKHEAD SAID SHE SLEPT WH STANWYCK THE 20’S. CRAWFORD, GARBO AND DIETRICH WERE ALSO LOVERS SHARED BY BANKHEAD AND STANWYCK.IN 1928 BARBARA MARRIED VVILLIAN FRANK FAY. THEY LEFT FOR HOLLYWOOD TO TRY THEIR LUCK. WHENEVER HE BEAT HER UP, WHICH WAS OFTEN, SHE FOUND SOLACE THE ARMS OF CRAWFORD. WHEN EDDIE MANNIX REFERRED TO BARBARA AS FAY’S ‘DYKE WIFE’ ONE NIGHT AT THE BROWN DERBY, A FISTFIGHT ENSUED AND MANNIX PUNCHED FAY OUT.FRANK & BARBARA FAYTHEY ADOPTED A SON 1932, BARBARA LOST TERT HIM ALMOST AT ONCE, AND THEY REMAED TRANGED THROUGHOUT THEIR LIV. ‘SOME KIDS ARE BORN WH BAD BLOOD’, SHE SAID BY WAY OF EXPLANATN. ‘JT LIKE HORS. WHEN A PARENT HAS DONE EVERYTHG POSSIBLE, THE ONLY SOLUTN IS TO SAVE YOURSELF.’ IN TTH, HER REER WAS ALL SHE RED ABOUT. WHEN A DNKEN FAY THREW THE TODDLER THEIR POOL DURG AN ARGUMENT, BARBARA CID WAS TIME TO JETTISON HER FAY. SHE DIVORCED HIM 1935.BARBARA & JOAN CRAWFORDROBERT TAYLOR WAS AN ONLY CHILD, BORN SPANGLER ARLGTON BGH, 1911 NEBRASKA. HE WAS A DDLED, SPELS MAMA’S BOY. WHEN HIS MIC TEACHER, HUBERT GRAY, LEFT FOR HOLLYWOOD HE WAS NSOLABLE, TELLG IENDS ‘HIS WORLD FELL APART’. HE SOON FOLLOWED, MOVG WH GRAY. BEFORE LONG, TAYLOR’S MOTHER MOVED WH BOTH OF THEM.ROBERT TAYLOR CIR 1932JOG THE PASANA PLAYHOE REPERTORY COMPANY, HE SOON BEME A ‘FAVOURE OF NOTORLY GAY DIRECTOR GILMOR BROWN. EVERY YEAR BROWN CHOSE A ‘PROTéGé’. THAT YEAR WAS TAYLOR. A YEAR LATER WOULD BE TYRONE POWER. EVERYBODY THE PANY KNEW THAT ‘PROTEGE’ MEANT PRIVATE ‘REHEARSALS’ OVERNIGHT STAYS AT THE DIRECTOR’S HOME.GILMOR BROWNTHROUGHOUT HIS LONG REER AT MGM, TAYLOR TSTED LB MAYER IMPLICLY. CONSEQUENTLY, MAYER TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THAT TST, AND BOB REMAED THE LOWT PAID OF ALL THE STUD’S MAJOR STARS. HE ALWAYS FELT FORTUNATE TO BE ON THEIR BOOKS, HOWEVER. HENCE, HE REMAED WH MGM UNTIL THE MISE OF THE STUD SYSTEM THE LATE FIFTI, A RERD 24 YEARS ALL. HE HAD ONLY GOOD THGS TO SAY ABOUT HIS BOSS.STANWYCK SIGNED NON-EXCLIVE NTRACTS WH BOTH COLUMBIA AND WARNER BROS, AND EELANCED WH MGM. WHEN MOURS ABOUT BARBARA’S AND ROBERT TAYLOR’S SEXUALY BEME RIFE, MGM HEADS VIRTUALLY ORRED THEM TO MARRY BEFORE THEIR REERS WERE PERMANENTLY TORPEDOED. TAYLOR RELUCTANTLY AGREED BEE HE WAS AAID OF LOSG HIS REER. STANWYCK AGREED BEE SHE KNEW NOT TO CROSS LB MAYER. HE ULD BE EXTREMELY VDICTIVE.JT MARRIEDTHEY MARRIED ON MAY 13, 1939 SAN DIEGO. TAYLOR CLED TO KISS HIS BRI FOR THE PHOTOGRAPHERS. HE WENT HOME TO HIS MOTHER’S THAT NIGHT. SHE HAD TO BE SEDATED WHEN SHE LEARNED HE WAS NO LONGER SGLE. BARBARA WENT BACK TO HER RANCH. THEY WERE RARELY TOGETHER. TAYLOR SPENT HIS WEEKENDS WH HIS GAY PILOT CHUM FLYG PLAN. WHEN THEY WERE TOGETHER BARBARA LLED THE SHOTS. TAYLOR WAS JT TOO TIMID. SHE BULLIED HIM ONT OF HIS FAY AND IENDS. ONE EVENG HE WAS DRKG WH JOHN WAYNE AND OTHERS, WHEN SHE ME DOWN THE STAIRS AND SAID: ‘SEND YOUR IENDS HOME. IT’S TIME FOR BED.’ HE MEEKLY PLIED. EVEN SO, SHE HAD FEELGS FOR HIM, WHICH EXPLAS WHY THEY REMAED TOGETHER FOR 13 YEARS.TURNER & TAYLOR  JOHNNY EAGERIN 1941, HE MA JOHNNY EAGER OPPOSE MAN-EATER LANA TURNER, WHO WAS AT THE PEAK OF HER BETY. SHE WENT AFTER HIM WH A VENGEANCE. MOST HISTORIANS (AND BARBARA) BELIEVED SHE GOT HIM TO THE SACK. SURPRISGLY, BARBARA SLASHED HER WRISTS OVER THE AFFAIR. MGM TOLD THE PRS SHE WAS ATTEMPTG TO OPEN A STUCK WDOW AND SHATTERED, CUTTG HER ARMS. THE UPLE WERE RARELY (IF EVER) TIMATE, BUT THEY DID GROW CLOSER TOGETHER OVER THE YEARS.JOAN & BARBARABARBARA’S PUBLICIST, HELEN FERGON, LIVED WH HER FOR 27 YEARS, BEG PAID JT $400 A MONTH. THE AMOUNT NEVER VARIED ALL THAT TIME. THEY BOTH SWORE LIKE TROOPERS, TOLD SIAR RISQUé, FOUL JOK, BUT NOBODY KNOWS FOR CERTA IF THEY WERE TIMATE. BARBARA, A CHA-SMOKER, DIED 1990 OM EMPHYSEMA. NO FUNERAL, NO GRAVE, AS PER HER STCTNS. TAYLOR WAS ALSO A CHA-SMOKER.

IT’S UNCLEAR.REPLY MIKE OM JERSEY JUNE 18, 2022 AT 11:57 AM I ULD HAVE BEEN CLEARER MYSELF WHEN I WROTE – “SUPPOSED“SUPPOSED JEWISH COMMUNIST FILTRATN OF MOVI BY RIGHT WG ANTI JEWISH LOONS” RIGHT WG ANTI JEWISH LOONS” WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS, IS YOUR POSN THAT THERE WAS “JEWISH COMMUNIST FILTRATN OF MOVI”WHICH POSN WOULD MEAN YOU ARE A RIGHT WG ANTI JEWISH LOON. HOPEFULLY THAT IS NOT WHAT YOU MEANT.REPLY MIKE OM JERSEY JUNE 18, 2022 AT 12:03 PM I APOLOGIZE FOR THE ABOVE, TOO BAD ONE N’T GO BACK AND ED. I AM ALG WH TARACTS AND ’S A PROBLEM TO SEE. THE “JEWISH COMMUNIST FILTRATN OF HOLLYWOOD” LE IS OFFENSIVE. I WAS WONRG IF MR. CURRAN MEANT TO AGREE WH THAT IA OR WAS CG .REPLY PIETRA AUGT 25, 2020 AT 4:22 AM I SUGGT YOU READ BARBARA STANWYCK: TE STEEL BY VICTORIA WILSON WHICH PLETELY BUNKS THE STANWYCK-TAYLOR MARRIAGE AS BEG FAKE. FAR OM . IF THE HEAD OF THE MATTACHE SOCIETY, HARRY HAY, SAID ROBERT TAYLOR WASN’T GAY OR BISEXUAL – HE WASN’T. AND WHAT A NERVE STATG THAT “I NEVER SAID HE WAS GAY” AFTER TELLG THAT RIDICULO STORY ABOUT THE PASANA PLAYHOE.THERE’S A GREAT STORY THE BOOK ABOUT TAYLOR AND STANWYCK G HOME AFTER AN ANNIVERSARY DNER. SHE WENT UPSTAIRS, HAVG NO IA HE HAD A SURPRISE PARTY PLANNED AND THERE WERE PEOPLE THERE. SHE APPEARED AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS, NU, AND SAID, “OKAY, BUDDY, E AND GET .” HER BIGGT HEARTBREAK WAS THE LOSS OF HIS LETTERS A FIRE. I N ATTT TO THIS BEE I READ SEVERAL LETTERS SHE WROTE TALKG ABOUT . ALSO TAYLOR HAD AN AFFAIR WH LANA TURNER DURG JOHNNY EAGER. TURNER SAID SHE AND BARBARA WERE ONCE STAYG THE SAME HOTEL AND TURNER LLED HER. BARBARA WOULDN’T SPEAK TO HER AND NEVER SPOKE TO HER AGA. WHEN SHE FOUND OUT HE WAS CHEATG ON HER ROME, WAS THE LAST STRAW, AND THEY DIVORCED.I DON’T UNRSTAND SPREADG THE STUPID MORS ABOUT PEOPLE YOU DIDN’T KNOW, BASED ON BAD REARCH, WHEN VICTORIA WILSON TERVIEWED DOZENS UPON DOZENS, GOG BACK TO HER CHILDHOOD. NOW, THIS IS NOT TO SAY BARBARA WAS NOT BISEXUAL. BUT TO STATE HER MARRIAGE TO TAYLOR WAS A LAVENR ONE IS RRECT. JT BEE THEY’RE BOTH AD, THAT DON’T MAKE TELLG UNTTHS RIGHT. ALSO, NO ONE MA BARBARA GET MARRIED. TAYLOR WAS ENGAGED TO SOMEONE, WHICH THE STUD WAS NOT HAPPY ABOUT, AND BROKE OFF WHEN HE MET BARBARA.ALSO, IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY THEY DIDN’T HAVE CHILDREN, BARBARA HAD A BOTCHED ABORTN AT A VERY YOUNG AGE.REPLY ALAN ROYLE AUGT 25, 2020 AT 9:39 AM THANKYOU FOR YOUR RMATIVE MENTS, PIETRA. NO DOUBT, YOU KNOW FAR MORE ABOUT THEIR MARRIAGE THAN I, AND I BOW TO YOUR BALANCED AND LOGIL ASSSMENT. I ASKED THE QUTN ABOUT THEIR UNN BEG ‘LAVENDAR’, SIMPLY BEE NUMERO SOURC HAVE CLAIMED WAS. UNFORTUNATELY, HOLLYWOOD HISTORY IS RIDDLED WH FALSIFITNS AND STATEMENTS MA BY DIVIDUALS WH HIDN (SOME NOT SO HIDN) AGENDAS, AND IS VERY DIFFICULT TO ARRIVE AT ANY LEVEL OF ABSOLUTE CERTATY. PERSONALLY, I THK BARBARA WAS ED BI-SEXUAL, BUT HER ADORATN FOR HER HBAND SEEMS UNNIABLE. BOB TAYLOR’S RERD OF FEMALE LOVERS WOULD SURELY DITE HE WAS HETEROSEXUAL, ALTHOUGH WAS NOT UNMON FOR STRAIGHT MEN TO DULGE ACTS NTRARY TO THEIR NATURE ORR TO ADVANCE UP THE HOLLYWOOD TOTEM POLE. CLTTE COLBERT ONCE SAID THAT THE ONLY WOMAN SHE KNEW THE MOVIE BS WHO DID NOT E THE ‘STG UCH’ TO GET AHEAD WAS BETTE DAVIS. AND THAT CLUD HERSELF. ONE WONRS HOW MANY STRAIGHT MEN REACHED THE TOP VIA THE SAME ROUTE OF EXPEDIENCY. THE ARTICL I WRE ARE SIMPLY MY PALTRY ATTEMPTS TO UNRAVEL THE MANY MYSTERI OF THE BS. IF I ERR (AND NO DOUBT I DO OM TIME TO TIME), I APOLOGISE UNRERVEDLY. THANKYOU AGA FOR YOUR NDID RPONS, PIETRA.REPLY MARGARET ORTIZ AUGT 7, 2021 AT 1:46 PM WELL WRTEN PEOPLE POUR OVER STORI OF THEIR CELEBRI AND LOVE TO SMEAR THEM ANY WAY THAT WILL SEEM SENSATNAL…OH WELL NNOT WORRY ABOUT THEM NOW BUT LOVED HER ACTG AND ALL MOVI AND THE END THE BIG VALLEY SERI…REPLY DENISE JULY 17, 2023 AT 5:03 PM I SERLY DON’T BELIEVE THE GREAT BARBARA STANWYCK WAS BISEXUAL OR A LBIAN! SHE WAS A MASTER ACTRS WH GREAT TASTE GEO MEN LIKE TAYLOR! IF SHE LIVED WH FERGON, SO WHAT! THAT DON’T MEAN THEY WERE GAY! RIDICULO! THEY WERE AR IENDS, PERD!!REPLY JAM ZEMBOY APRIL 6, 2019 AT 2:58 AM WHAT I THK IS MOST TERTG ABOUT BARBARA STANWYCK AND ROBERT TAYLOR IS THAT SHE WAS, DISPUTABLY, A STUPENDO ACTRS (AND UNFORTUNATELY NEVER THE WNER OF “BT ACTRS” SCE THERE ALWAYS SEEMED TO BE SOMEBODY ELSE WHO WAS A TEENY B BETTER! I HAVE A PROBLEM WH THOSE AWARDS FOR THAT REASON–AND FOR SCHOOL AWARDS TOO. THERE SHOULD BE “SEVERAL” WNERS OF “BT ACTOR” OR “BT FRENCH STUNT”–ALL SHARG THE GLORY, NOT JT ONE.) BUT BACK TO STANWYCK AND TAYLOR, ROBERT TAYLOR WAS ABSOLUTELY ONE OF THE MOST MEDCRE ACTORS WHO EVER LIVED–AND HE KNEW , AND THAT WAS WHY HE WAS HAPPY WH NEVER A SALARY CREASE. HIS ONLY ASSET WAS HIS BETY, AND HE KNEW , AND HE WAS GLAD TO BE KEPT ON BOARD BEE OF . WHEN THE STUD PAIRED HIM WH GRETA GARBO CALE, NOBODY ULD KEEP SILENT ABOUT HIS LOY ACTG PARED WH HERS. BUT AMERIN WOMEN WERE NUTS ABOUT HIM, SO WAS GOOD FOR THE STUD TO HAVE HIM AROUND.I HAVE NEVER SEEN A BAD STANWYCK PERFORMANCE, NOR A GOOD TAYLOR ONE. IF WAS FACT A “LAVENR MARRIAGE,” I’M NOT SURPRISED. HE DID HAVE A SICKENG MOTHER WHO FLIPPED OUT WHEN HE GOT MARRIED, BUT THERE WERE LOTS OF MOTHERS LIKE THAT THOSE DAYS–AND THEY GOT AWAY WH BEE THEY WERE “MOTHERS.” A WOMAN WHO WAS TERRIFIED THAT HER SON WAS GETTG MARRIED EARNED SYMPATHY OM LNS OF OTHER AMERIN MOTHERS STEAD OF THE NMNATN THEY WOULD RECEIVE TODAY. SO HE HAD ONE OF “THOSE” MOTHERS. AND LET’S NOT FET THAT HE FOLLOWED HIS CELLO TEACHER TO CALIFORNIA–SPE NOT BEG A MAJOR MIL GENI OR A SERLY VOTED CELLIST HIMSELF–AND ACTUALLY MPED WH HIM, ALONG WH HIS MAMA.I THK PROBABLY HE WAS GAY AND WAS KEPT SECRET FOR ALL THE RIGHT REASONS–ILLEGAL, IMMORAL, PERVERTED–PENDG ON WHETHER YOU WERE TALKG ABOUT LAW, RELIGN OR SCIENCE–SO IF HE WAS GAY AND KEPT A SECRET, HE HAD A RIGHT TO. IT WOULD BE STUPID AND SELF-STCTIVE TO “E OUT” AS GAY BEFORE ABOUT 1980 (NO, MAKE THAT 2000).THE STUD DID TRY TO PRENT HIM AS A “REAL MAN” (WHICH, THE LOW-CLASS AMERIN MD, IS A GUY WHO SOLV PROBLEMS WH OTHER PEOPLE BY G HIS FISTS– “A YANK AT OXFORD”–A LOY MOVIE THAT ASSURED PEOPLE THAT A HAIRY CHT PROV A MAN’S HETEROSEXUALY. IT WAS A MAJOR FARCE. AND TAYLOR HIMSELF ONCE “PROVED” HIS HETEROSEXUALY BY EXHIBG THE HAIR ON HIS CHT TO SOMEBODY WHO ASKED IF HE WAS “QUEER.”BUT ALL THAT ASI AND, THE END, THERE WAS NO WAY TO PARE THE TWO OF THEM ACTG. SHE WAS MAGNIFICENT OM THE BEGNG OF HER REER TO THE END; HE WAS NEVER ANYTHG BUT A PRETTY FACE. WHEN THE FACE GOT SLIGHTLY MATURE, THEY SHIFTED HIM TO WBOY ROL.I HAVE WATCHED DOUBLE INMNY AND SORRY WRONG NUMBER AND THE STRANGE LOVE OF MARTHA IVERS A HUNDRED TIM EACH AND I N’T FD A SGLE SYLLABLE OR FACIAL EXPRSN OF STANWYCK’S THAT ISN’T PERFECT. I DON’T RE ABOUT HER SEXUALY. I N WALLOW HER ACTG TILL THE DAY I DIE.REPLY ALAN ROYLE APRIL 7, 2019 AT 1:51 AM WE ARE PLETE AGREEMENT, JAM. I THK BARBARA WAS WONRFUL AND I CLASS TAYLOR THE SAME GROUP AS AN ACTOR AS MEL GIBSON. SPUD ORDARY. AND LIKE YOU, I HAVE NO TERT THE SEXUALY OF EHER. THANKYOU FOR YOUR MOST RMATIVE AND BALANCED MENTS.REPLY KELLY AUGT 6, 2021 AT 3:30 PM WH ALL DUE RPECT JAM, WHILE STANWYCK WAS ED A GREAT ACTRS — ONE OF THE BT — SHE HAD A BAD HAB OF SHG HER L DURG ARGUMENTATIVE MOMENTS, ALMOST TO THE POT OF STUMBLG OVER THEM — AND MA THEM FAR MORE MELODRAMATIC THAN THEY SHOULD BE.SHE ALSO HAD THIS ODD HAB OF ADDG “OH GAAWWD!” TO SOME OF HER DIALOGUE, WHICH CREPT TO HER PUBLIC SPEECH AS WELL.HAVG SAID THAT, SHE WAS ED GREAT THE MOVI YOU MENTNED, AND WAS SO SKILLED THAT SHE WAS ONE OF A VERY FEW WHO ULD NOT ONLY CRY GENUE TEARS ON CUE, BUT ULD GIVE YOU ONE TEAR OR TWO, PENDG ON WHAT WAS NEED.AND IF YOU WANT TO SEE HER ACTN, CHECK OUT THE SEQUENCE ‘FORTY GUNS’ WHERE SHE’S THROWN OFF A HORSE AND DRAGGED. HER STUNT WOMAN REFED TO DO , SO STANWYCK DID HERSELF. AND YOU N SEE THAT ED, ’S HER, DURG THE 20-30 SEND SEQUENCE.AS FOR ROBERT TAYLOR, SPE HIS BETY — PECIALLY PRE-1940 — HE WAS FELY PRETTIER THAN STANWYCK, THERE’S NEVER BEEN ANY FIRE THE MIDST OF ALL THE SO-LLED SMOKE. STILL, FARLEY GRANGER TOLD THE FOLLOWG STORY TERVIEWS AND HIS TOBGRAPHY:“I HAD JT RETURNED OM WORKG EUROPE, AND I WASN’T UP ON THE LATT,” HE SAYS. AFTER HE ASKED STANWYCK HOW HER HBAND, BISEXUAL ACTOR ROBERT TAYLOR, WAS DOG, GRANGER SAYS, “SHE JT STARED AT ME VERY LDLY AND SAID, ‘YOU MEAN MR. TAYLOR? HE’S LEFT ME. FOR A WOMAN!’”HE ALSO CHA-SMOKED MORE VIGOROLY THAN BETTE DAVIS — SO MUCH SO THAT HE LOOKED 10 YEARS OLR THAN HIS AGE BY 1950, AND ABOUT 20 YEARS OLR THAN HIS AGE WHEN HE DIED AT ONLY 57 YEARS OLD. AND HE ALSO DRANK. PEOPLE TURN TO ADDICTNS LIKE THAT FOR A REASON, AND WHO KNOWS…MAYBE LIVG A LIE WAS ONE OF THEM?REPLY MARGARET ORTIZ AUGT 7, 2021 AT 1:47 PM TOO BAD HE IS NOT ALIVE TO DISPUTE ANY TRASH WRTEN ABOUT HIM…REPLY K M WARWICK JULY 19, 2018 AT 7:11 PM I WILL MAKE SOME ASSERTNS HERE: OK THE REALY IS THAT CIR 50% OF ALL MEN AND WOMEN ARE BASIC BISEXUALS. THE REMAG 50% IS ROUGHLY SPL BETWEEN BEG EXCLIVELY HETEROSEXUAL OR EXCLIVELY HOMOSEXUAL. THIS TI NEATLY WH KNOWN FACTS (FACTS!) ABOUT THE ANIMAL KGDOM’S SEXUAL PROCLIVI. IN OTHER WORDS, HOMOSEXUALY AND BISEXUALY ARE PERFECTLY NORMAL MANIFTNS OF SEXUALY EVINT ACROSS THE HUMAN AND ANIMAL KGDOMS. IT IS THEN NOT UNREASONABLE TO ASSUME THAT EVINCE SUGGTS THAT NON-BREEDG ANIMALS AND KGDOM ARE ALL A NORMAL PART OF LIFE AND EVEN BIRTH NTROL. BUT, RELIGN, PHILOSOPHY, THE LAW AND ANISATNS AROUND THE WORLD HAVE A REAL ISSUE WH BEG BISEXUAL OR GAY. HOWEVER, WE MT NCLU THAT THIS FLI THE FACE OF FACTO EVINCE THAT HOMOSEXUALY IS ABSOLUTELY NOT ABNORMAL, AND THAT SOCIETY MT ALLOW PEOPLE THE RIGHT TO BE DIFFERENT WH A WORLD OF PREJUDICE, PERSECUTN, PROECUTN AND CEL DISCRIMATN. HUMAN RIGHTS MT TMP THE IGNORANCE AND TOLLERANC OF THE HUMAN JUDG. THANKS FOR READG THIS.REPLY ALAN ROYLE JULY 20, 2018 AT 1:42 AM THANKYOU FOR THAT LSON ON SEXUALY, KEH. I NNOT TELL IF YOU ARE HAVG A DIG AT ME FOR WRG THE ARTICLE ON STANWYCK & TAYLOR OR MERELY ENLIGHTENG ME.

AND THEY DID. ADD TO THAT A GULLIBLE, ADORG PUBLIC READY TO SWALLOW WHATEVER BS THE STUDS THREW AT THEM, AND YOU HAVE THE FULLY-FLEDGED FANTASY WORLD KNOWN AS HOLLYWOOD. AND I AM NOT SAYG ALL ACTORS ARE STUPID OR WHOUT CHARACTER. FAR OM . A GREAT NUMBER OF THEM ARE MOST IMPRSIVE DIVIDUALS, BUT AN EQUAL NUMBER LIVE THE FANTASY TO THE BRIM AND DULGE THEMSELV WH LTLE RE ABOUT REPUTATNS OR NSEQUENC. AND THE ARE THE ON THAT MAKE THE HEADL. OF URSE, THE STUDS COULD HAVE KEPT THE DTRY CLEAN OM THE OUTSET BY EXPOSG AND REMOVG THE DIVIDUALS BUT, AS WE KNOW, THAT NEVER HAPPENED. WHY?

I MEET HIM AS A CHILD. HE HAD A GOOD IEND N.M. AND MY FAY KNEW THEM WELL. I KNOW TAYLOR LOVED HORS AND THE FAY I’M TALKG ABOUT GAVE HIM A BLACK STALLN THAT HE RO HIS MOVIE BILLY THE KID. MY GRANDMOTHER KNEW MISS STANWYCK AND MET HER ON A TRA THE 30’S. MY GRANDMOTHER NAMED ME AFTER HER, AND THEY STAYED TOUCH FOR MANY YEARS.

YOU MAY VERY WELL BE RIGHT. MY REARCH HAS UNVERED A GREAT MANY SOURC THAT WOULD DISAGREE WH YOU ON THIS, BUT THAT DO NOT NECSARILY MAKE THEM RIGHT. AS WH MOST ISSU HISTORY WE N ONLY VTIGATE AS REFULLY AS POSSIBLE, THEN FORMULATE AN OPN BASED ON AN ASSSMENT OF WHAT WE HAVE FOUND. HISTORY IS AT BT TED GUSWORK BASED ON PIECEMEAL RMATN. UNFORTUNATELY, THE STUDS LIED SO NSISTENTLY ABOUT MOST OF THEIR STARS THAT WE TEND TO THK EVERYTHING THEY SAID WAS UNTE. TAYLOR AND STANWYCK MAY WELL BE VICTIMS OF THIS.

ACTUALLY, I NEVER SAID TAYLOR WAS GAY. LIKE MANY HOLLYWOOD STARS OF BOTH GENRS HE APPEARED TO BE BISEXUAL. MAYER SISTED ON HE AND BARBARA MARRYG, SIMPLY TO WARD OFF THE MOURS ABOUT BOTH OF THEM. ALTHOUGH MANY HOLLYWOOD SIRS CLAIMED THAT BARBARA WAS A ‘CLOSETED LBIAN’, I BELIEVE SHE WAS BISEXUAL AS WELL.

BARBARA STANWYCK: HOLLYWOOD LEGEND, GAY IN, AND TOUGH-AS-NAILS SUPERSTAR

Over the urse of the next thirty-somethg years, she would appear films like Baby Face, A Lost Lady, Flh and Fantasy, The Gay Sisters and Stella Dallas. Barbara Stanwyck was never nfirmed to be gay durg her lifetime but several behavurs and statements lent themselv to the mours that she was a lbian. The inic actrs had been exposed to the homosexual muny at the age of 16 when she served as an ocsnal dance teacher at a speakeasy for gays and lbians.

And even if she weren't a lbian, her brassy and butch nature, both onscreen and off, garnered her a loyal followg om lbians and gays, for today's Today Gay History, we celebrate Stanwyck's July 16, 1907 birth wh seven bs of trivia that, when taken together, pat a pretty good picture of Stanwyck's life, reer, and legacy. Durg the late-1920s, Brooklyn-native Stanwyck tght dance at a gay and lbian speakeasy owned by Texas Guan, a butch imprar scribed as a lbian. In the book Encyclopedia of Gay and Lbian Popular Culture, Lu Prono not that the 1960s, 1970s and even to the 1980s, Stanwyck was seen as a cultural and personal template for lbians.

If lbians appreciated Stanwyck's pennt nature, gays loved the glamor the actrs brought to the tough-as-nails rol. And if her Hollywood pedigree weren't enough, Stanwyck cemented her gay in stat the 1980s, when she signed onto Dynasty sp-off The may have played Constance Colby Patterson for one season, but Stanwyck played wh the same ball-btg fortu that had ma her a star the first place. Durg the next more than thirty years, she played movi like Baby Face, A Lost Lady, Flh and Fantasy, The Gay Sisters and Stella Dallas.

BARBARA STANWYCK; THE QUEEN - GAY IN OF THE GOLN AGE OF HOLLYWOOD.BARBARA STANWYCK; THE QUEEN - GAY IN OF THE GOLN AGE OF HOLLYWOOD.

The inic actrs was exposed to the gay muny at the age of 16 when she ocsnally worked as a dance teacher a gay and lbian bar. She also tght dance at a gay and lbian speakeasy Brooklyn n by the lively and notor lbian owner, Texas Guan.

She beme a gay in for her performanc—the ultimate betiful butch movi I am gog to highlight today show her more ser rol.

She beme a chos girl, a dancer, and a dance stctor for gay men and lbians. We often thk of Hollywood as beg acceptg of homosexual men and women.

STANWYCK & TAYLOR – A LAVENR MARRIAGE? JULY 6, 2015 ADM DID YOU KNOW? 45 WHEN ME TO QUTNS ABOUT HER SEXUALY, BARBARA STANWYCK WAS THE OLD STUD DAYS’ EQUIVALENT OF TODAY’S TOM CISE. ANY MENTN OF HER SEXUAL PREFERENC WOULD IMMEDIATELY BRG FORTH VEILED THREATS OF LIGATN SHOULD THE SUBJECT BE PURSUED. CISE DO THE SAME THG TODAY. MENTN HIS NAME NNECTN WH HOMOSEXUALY OR BISEXUALY AND HE WILL THREATEN TO SUE. I RECENTLY READ A BOOK WHICH HE WAS NTUALLY REFERRED TO AS ‘THE HETEROSEXUAL TOM CISE’ THROUGHOUT, PERHAPS A HUNDRED TIM. THE SARSM WAS OBV BUT, APPARENTLY, THE WRERS FELT NECSARY JT TO KEEP ON THE SAFE SI.STANWYCK & WEBB  TANIC (1953)THERE IS ENOUGH EVINCE ABOUT MISS STANWYCK TO BE ABLE TO STATE WH SOME CERTATY THAT SHE WAS EHER A LBIAN OR BISEXUAL. OF URSE, THAT DO NOT MAKE HER ANY WAY UNIQUE HOLLYWOOD. FAR OM . ACTOR CLIFTON WEBB SCRIBED HER AS, ‘MY FAVOURE HOLLYWOOD LBIAN’. HER HBAND, ROBERT TAYLOR, TOLD SHELLEY WTERS OVER DNER THAT BARBARA WAS A LBIAN AND THAT THEY HAD SEPARATE BEDS. THEIRS WAS JT ONE OF DOZENS OF ‘LAVENR’ MARRIAG THE MOVIE MUNY. BARBARA’S OWN BGRAPHER, AXEL MADSEN, WROTE THAT ‘PEOPLE WOULD SWEAR THAT SHE WAS HOLLYWOOD’S BIGGT CLOSETED LBIAN’.LOOKG BACK, IS PERFECTLY UNRSTANDABLE WHY THE ‘MARRIAG OF NVENIENCE’ WERE NECSARY. HOMOSEXUALY, BISEXUALY AND LBIANISM WERE ILLEGAL EVERY STATE OF THE UNN. ANYONE PUBLICLY INTIFIED AS GAY WOULD NOT ONLY LOSE THEIR REER, BUT N THE REAL RISK OF SPENDG TIME THE ‘SLAMMER, MAKG LTLE ROCKS OUT OF BIG ON. IT WAS A MOST SER ISSUE. LIKE MANY LBIANS, STANWYCK WAS NOT AVERSE TO EXPERIMENTG WH THE OPPOSE SEX OM TIME TO TIME, PECIALLY A MUNY HABED BY SO MANY ‘BETIFUL PEOPLE’ OF BOTH SEX. SHE AND TAYLOR PROBABLY NSUMMATED THEIR RELATNSHIP ON OCSN, BUT NEHER HAD MUCH TERT THE OPPOSE SEX. HAVG SAID THAT, AFTER THEIR DIVORCE 1952 SHE EMBARKED ON A FOUR YEAR AFFAIR WH THE MUCH YOUNGER ROBERT WAGNER, BEGNG WHEN THEY APPEARED TOGETHER  TANIC.WAGNER & STANWYCK  TANICSTANWYCK WAS BORN RUBY STEVENS BROOKLYN, NEW YORK CY, 1907. HER MOTHER DIED WHEN SHE WAS FOUR, AND HER FATHER TOOK OFF TO HELP BUILD THE PANAMA CANAL AND WAS NEVER SEEN AGA.

OF THE 26,000 WORKERS ON THE NAL 21,000 WERE HOSPALIZED FOR EHER YELLOW FEVER OR MALARIA. WE WILL NEVER KNOW. RUBY AND HER BROTHERS AND SISTERS WERE FOSTERED OUT SEVERAL TIM. SHE LEFT SCHOOL AT 14, GAED WORK AS A DANCE STCTOR AT TEXAS GUAN’S LBIAN SPEAK-EASY, WHERE SHE MET JOAN CRAWFORD AND TALLULAH BANKHEAD WHO WERE REGULARS. BANKHEAD SAID SHE SLEPT WH STANWYCK THE 20’S. CRAWFORD, GARBO AND DIETRICH WERE ALSO LOVERS SHARED BY BANKHEAD AND STANWYCK.IN 1928 BARBARA MARRIED VVILLIAN FRANK FAY. THEY LEFT FOR HOLLYWOOD TO TRY THEIR LUCK. WHENEVER HE BEAT HER UP, WHICH WAS OFTEN, SHE FOUND SOLACE THE ARMS OF CRAWFORD. WHEN EDDIE MANNIX REFERRED TO BARBARA AS FAY’S ‘DYKE WIFE’ ONE NIGHT AT THE BROWN DERBY, A FISTFIGHT ENSUED AND MANNIX PUNCHED FAY OUT.FRANK & BARBARA FAYTHEY ADOPTED A SON 1932, BARBARA LOST TERT HIM ALMOST AT ONCE, AND THEY REMAED TRANGED THROUGHOUT THEIR LIV. ‘SOME KIDS ARE BORN WH BAD BLOOD’, SHE SAID BY WAY OF EXPLANATN. ‘JT LIKE HORS. WHEN A PARENT HAS DONE EVERYTHG POSSIBLE, THE ONLY SOLUTN IS TO SAVE YOURSELF.’ IN TTH, HER REER WAS ALL SHE RED ABOUT. WHEN A DNKEN FAY THREW THE TODDLER THEIR POOL DURG AN ARGUMENT, BARBARA CID WAS TIME TO JETTISON HER FAY. SHE DIVORCED HIM 1935.BARBARA & JOAN CRAWFORDROBERT TAYLOR WAS AN ONLY CHILD, BORN SPANGLER ARLGTON BGH, 1911 NEBRASKA. HE WAS A DDLED, SPELS MAMA’S BOY.

CONSEQUENTLY, MAYER TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THAT TST, AND BOB REMAED THE LOWT PAID OF ALL THE STUD’S MAJOR STARS. HE ALWAYS FELT FORTUNATE TO BE ON THEIR BOOKS, HOWEVER. HENCE, HE REMAED WH MGM UNTIL THE MISE OF THE STUD SYSTEM THE LATE FIFTI, A RERD 24 YEARS ALL. HE HAD ONLY GOOD THGS TO SAY ABOUT HIS BOSS.STANWYCK SIGNED NON-EXCLIVE NTRACTS WH BOTH COLUMBIA AND WARNER BROS, AND EELANCED WH MGM. WHEN MOURS ABOUT BARBARA’S AND ROBERT TAYLOR’S SEXUALY BEME RIFE, MGM HEADS VIRTUALLY ORRED THEM TO MARRY BEFORE THEIR REERS WERE PERMANENTLY TORPEDOED. TAYLOR RELUCTANTLY AGREED BEE HE WAS AAID OF LOSG HIS REER. STANWYCK AGREED BEE SHE KNEW NOT TO CROSS LB MAYER. HE ULD BE EXTREMELY VDICTIVE.JT MARRIEDTHEY MARRIED ON MAY 13, 1939 SAN DIEGO. TAYLOR CLED TO KISS HIS BRI FOR THE PHOTOGRAPHERS. HE WENT HOME TO HIS MOTHER’S THAT NIGHT. SHE HAD TO BE SEDATED WHEN SHE LEARNED HE WAS NO LONGER SGLE. BARBARA WENT BACK TO HER RANCH. THEY WERE RARELY TOGETHER. TAYLOR SPENT HIS WEEKENDS WH HIS GAY PILOT CHUM FLYG PLAN. WHEN THEY WERE TOGETHER BARBARA LLED THE SHOTS. TAYLOR WAS JT TOO TIMID. SHE BULLIED HIM ONT OF HIS FAY AND IENDS. ONE EVENG HE WAS DRKG WH JOHN WAYNE AND OTHERS, WHEN SHE ME DOWN THE STAIRS AND SAID: ‘SEND YOUR IENDS HOME. IT’S TIME FOR BED.’ HE MEEKLY PLIED. EVEN SO, SHE HAD FEELGS FOR HIM, WHICH EXPLAS WHY THEY REMAED TOGETHER FOR 13 YEARS.TURNER & TAYLOR  JOHNNY EAGERIN 1941, HE MA JOHNNY EAGER OPPOSE MAN-EATER LANA TURNER, WHO WAS AT THE PEAK OF HER BETY. SHE WENT AFTER HIM WH A VENGEANCE. MOST HISTORIANS (AND BARBARA) BELIEVED SHE GOT HIM TO THE SACK. SURPRISGLY, BARBARA SLASHED HER WRISTS OVER THE AFFAIR. MGM TOLD THE PRS SHE WAS ATTEMPTG TO OPEN A STUCK WDOW AND SHATTERED, CUTTG HER ARMS. THE UPLE WERE RARELY (IF EVER) TIMATE, BUT THEY DID GROW CLOSER TOGETHER OVER THE YEARS.JOAN & BARBARABARBARA’S PUBLICIST, HELEN FERGON, LIVED WH HER FOR 27 YEARS, BEG PAID JT $400 A MONTH.

AND WHAT A NERVE STATG THAT “I NEVER SAID HE WAS GAY” AFTER TELLG THAT RIDICULO STORY ABOUT THE PASANA PLAYHOE.THERE’S A GREAT STORY THE BOOK ABOUT TAYLOR AND STANWYCK G HOME AFTER AN ANNIVERSARY DNER. SHE WENT UPSTAIRS, HAVG NO IA HE HAD A SURPRISE PARTY PLANNED AND THERE WERE PEOPLE THERE. SHE APPEARED AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS, NU, AND SAID, “OKAY, BUDDY, E AND GET .” HER BIGGT HEARTBREAK WAS THE LOSS OF HIS LETTERS A FIRE. I N ATTT TO THIS BEE I READ SEVERAL LETTERS SHE WROTE TALKG ABOUT . ALSO TAYLOR HAD AN AFFAIR WH LANA TURNER DURG JOHNNY EAGER. TURNER SAID SHE AND BARBARA WERE ONCE STAYG THE SAME HOTEL AND TURNER LLED HER. BARBARA WOULDN’T SPEAK TO HER AND NEVER SPOKE TO HER AGA. WHEN SHE FOUND OUT HE WAS CHEATG ON HER ROME, WAS THE LAST STRAW, AND THEY DIVORCED.I DON’T UNRSTAND SPREADG THE STUPID MORS ABOUT PEOPLE YOU DIDN’T KNOW, BASED ON BAD REARCH, WHEN VICTORIA WILSON TERVIEWED DOZENS UPON DOZENS, GOG BACK TO HER CHILDHOOD. NOW, THIS IS NOT TO SAY BARBARA WAS NOT BISEXUAL. BUT TO STATE HER MARRIAGE TO TAYLOR WAS A LAVENR ONE IS RRECT. JT BEE THEY’RE BOTH AD, THAT DON’T MAKE TELLG UNTTHS RIGHT. ALSO, NO ONE MA BARBARA GET MARRIED. TAYLOR WAS ENGAGED TO SOMEONE, WHICH THE STUD WAS NOT HAPPY ABOUT, AND BROKE OFF WHEN HE MET BARBARA.ALSO, IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY THEY DIDN’T HAVE CHILDREN, BARBARA HAD A BOTCHED ABORTN AT A VERY YOUNG AGE.REPLY ALAN ROYLE AUGT 25, 2020 AT 9:39 AM THANKYOU FOR YOUR RMATIVE MENTS, PIETRA. NO DOUBT, YOU KNOW FAR MORE ABOUT THEIR MARRIAGE THAN I, AND I BOW TO YOUR BALANCED AND LOGIL ASSSMENT. I ASKED THE QUTN ABOUT THEIR UNN BEG ‘LAVENDAR’, SIMPLY BEE NUMERO SOURC HAVE CLAIMED WAS. UNFORTUNATELY, HOLLYWOOD HISTORY IS RIDDLED WH FALSIFITNS AND STATEMENTS MA BY DIVIDUALS WH HIDN (SOME NOT SO HIDN) AGENDAS, AND IS VERY DIFFICULT TO ARRIVE AT ANY LEVEL OF ABSOLUTE CERTATY. PERSONALLY, I THK BARBARA WAS ED BI-SEXUAL, BUT HER ADORATN FOR HER HBAND SEEMS UNNIABLE. BOB TAYLOR’S RERD OF FEMALE LOVERS WOULD SURELY DITE HE WAS HETEROSEXUAL, ALTHOUGH WAS NOT UNMON FOR STRAIGHT MEN TO DULGE ACTS NTRARY TO THEIR NATURE ORR TO ADVANCE UP THE HOLLYWOOD TOTEM POLE. CLTTE COLBERT ONCE SAID THAT THE ONLY WOMAN SHE KNEW THE MOVIE BS WHO DID NOT E THE ‘STG UCH’ TO GET AHEAD WAS BETTE DAVIS. AND THAT CLUD HERSELF.

SHE WAS A MASTER ACTRS WH GREAT TASTE GEO MEN LIKE TAYLOR! IF SHE LIVED WH FERGON, SO WHAT! THAT DON’T MEAN THEY WERE GAY! RIDICULO! THEY WERE AR IENDS, PERD!!REPLY JAM ZEMBOY APRIL 6, 2019 AT 2:58 AM WHAT I THK IS MOST TERTG ABOUT BARBARA STANWYCK AND ROBERT TAYLOR IS THAT SHE WAS, DISPUTABLY, A STUPENDO ACTRS (AND UNFORTUNATELY NEVER THE WNER OF “BT ACTRS” SCE THERE ALWAYS SEEMED TO BE SOMEBODY ELSE WHO WAS A TEENY B BETTER! I HAVE A PROBLEM WH THOSE AWARDS FOR THAT REASON–AND FOR SCHOOL AWARDS TOO. THERE SHOULD BE “SEVERAL” WNERS OF “BT ACTOR” OR “BT FRENCH STUNT”–ALL SHARG THE GLORY, NOT JT ONE.) BUT BACK TO STANWYCK AND TAYLOR, ROBERT TAYLOR WAS ABSOLUTELY ONE OF THE MOST MEDCRE ACTORS WHO EVER LIVED–AND HE KNEW , AND THAT WAS WHY HE WAS HAPPY WH NEVER A SALARY CREASE. HIS ONLY ASSET WAS HIS BETY, AND HE KNEW , AND HE WAS GLAD TO BE KEPT ON BOARD BEE OF . WHEN THE STUD PAIRED HIM WH GRETA GARBO CALE, NOBODY ULD KEEP SILENT ABOUT HIS LOY ACTG PARED WH HERS. BUT AMERIN WOMEN WERE NUTS ABOUT HIM, SO WAS GOOD FOR THE STUD TO HAVE HIM AROUND.I HAVE NEVER SEEN A BAD STANWYCK PERFORMANCE, NOR A GOOD TAYLOR ONE. IF WAS FACT A “LAVENR MARRIAGE,” I’M NOT SURPRISED. HE DID HAVE A SICKENG MOTHER WHO FLIPPED OUT WHEN HE GOT MARRIED, BUT THERE WERE LOTS OF MOTHERS LIKE THAT THOSE DAYS–AND THEY GOT AWAY WH BEE THEY WERE “MOTHERS.” A WOMAN WHO WAS TERRIFIED THAT HER SON WAS GETTG MARRIED EARNED SYMPATHY OM LNS OF OTHER AMERIN MOTHERS STEAD OF THE NMNATN THEY WOULD RECEIVE TODAY. SO HE HAD ONE OF “THOSE” MOTHERS. AND LET’S NOT FET THAT HE FOLLOWED HIS CELLO TEACHER TO CALIFORNIA–SPE NOT BEG A MAJOR MIL GENI OR A SERLY VOTED CELLIST HIMSELF–AND ACTUALLY MPED WH HIM, ALONG WH HIS MAMA.I THK PROBABLY HE WAS GAY AND WAS KEPT SECRET FOR ALL THE RIGHT REASONS–ILLEGAL, IMMORAL, PERVERTED–PENDG ON WHETHER YOU WERE TALKG ABOUT LAW, RELIGN OR SCIENCE–SO IF HE WAS GAY AND KEPT A SECRET, HE HAD A RIGHT TO. IT WOULD BE STUPID AND SELF-STCTIVE TO “E OUT” AS GAY BEFORE ABOUT 1980 (NO, MAKE THAT 2000).THE STUD DID TRY TO PRENT HIM AS A “REAL MAN” (WHICH, THE LOW-CLASS AMERIN MD, IS A GUY WHO SOLV PROBLEMS WH OTHER PEOPLE BY G HIS FISTS– “A YANK AT OXFORD”–A LOY MOVIE THAT ASSURED PEOPLE THAT A HAIRY CHT PROV A MAN’S HETEROSEXUALY. IT WAS A MAJOR FARCE. AND TAYLOR HIMSELF ONCE “PROVED” HIS HETEROSEXUALY BY EXHIBG THE HAIR ON HIS CHT TO SOMEBODY WHO ASKED IF HE WAS “QUEER.”BUT ALL THAT ASI AND, THE END, THERE WAS NO WAY TO PARE THE TWO OF THEM ACTG. SHE WAS MAGNIFICENT OM THE BEGNG OF HER REER TO THE END; HE WAS NEVER ANYTHG BUT A PRETTY FACE. WHEN THE FACE GOT SLIGHTLY MATURE, THEY SHIFTED HIM TO WBOY ROL.I HAVE WATCHED DOUBLE INMNY AND SORRY WRONG NUMBER AND THE STRANGE LOVE OF MARTHA IVERS A HUNDRED TIM EACH AND I N’T FD A SGLE SYLLABLE OR FACIAL EXPRSN OF STANWYCK’S THAT ISN’T PERFECT. I DON’T RE ABOUT HER SEXUALY. I N WALLOW HER ACTG TILL THE DAY I DIE.REPLY ALAN ROYLE APRIL 7, 2019 AT 1:51 AM WE ARE PLETE AGREEMENT, JAM.

THANKYOU FOR YOUR MOST RMATIVE AND BALANCED MENTS.REPLY KELLY AUGT 6, 2021 AT 3:30 PM WH ALL DUE RPECT JAM, WHILE STANWYCK WAS ED A GREAT ACTRS — ONE OF THE BT — SHE HAD A BAD HAB OF SHG HER L DURG ARGUMENTATIVE MOMENTS, ALMOST TO THE POT OF STUMBLG OVER THEM — AND MA THEM FAR MORE MELODRAMATIC THAN THEY SHOULD BE.SHE ALSO HAD THIS ODD HAB OF ADDG “OH GAAWWD!” TO SOME OF HER DIALOGUE, WHICH CREPT TO HER PUBLIC SPEECH AS WELL.HAVG SAID THAT, SHE WAS ED GREAT THE MOVI YOU MENTNED, AND WAS SO SKILLED THAT SHE WAS ONE OF A VERY FEW WHO ULD NOT ONLY CRY GENUE TEARS ON CUE, BUT ULD GIVE YOU ONE TEAR OR TWO, PENDG ON WHAT WAS NEED.AND IF YOU WANT TO SEE HER ACTN, CHECK OUT THE SEQUENCE ‘FORTY GUNS’ WHERE SHE’S THROWN OFF A HORSE AND DRAGGED. HER STUNT WOMAN REFED TO DO , SO STANWYCK DID HERSELF. AND YOU N SEE THAT ED, ’S HER, DURG THE 20-30 SEND SEQUENCE.AS FOR ROBERT TAYLOR, SPE HIS BETY — PECIALLY PRE-1940 — HE WAS FELY PRETTIER THAN STANWYCK, THERE’S NEVER BEEN ANY FIRE THE MIDST OF ALL THE SO-LLED SMOKE. STILL, FARLEY GRANGER TOLD THE FOLLOWG STORY TERVIEWS AND HIS TOBGRAPHY:“I HAD JT RETURNED OM WORKG EUROPE, AND I WASN’T UP ON THE LATT,” HE SAYS. AFTER HE ASKED STANWYCK HOW HER HBAND, BISEXUAL ACTOR ROBERT TAYLOR, WAS DOG, GRANGER SAYS, “SHE JT STARED AT ME VERY LDLY AND SAID, ‘YOU MEAN MR. TAYLOR? HE’S LEFT ME. FOR A WOMAN!’”HE ALSO CHA-SMOKED MORE VIGOROLY THAN BETTE DAVIS — SO MUCH SO THAT HE LOOKED 10 YEARS OLR THAN HIS AGE BY 1950, AND ABOUT 20 YEARS OLR THAN HIS AGE WHEN HE DIED AT ONLY 57 YEARS OLD. AND HE ALSO DRANK.

IT IS THEN NOT UNREASONABLE TO ASSUME THAT EVINCE SUGGTS THAT NON-BREEDG ANIMALS AND KGDOM ARE ALL A NORMAL PART OF LIFE AND EVEN BIRTH NTROL. BUT, RELIGN, PHILOSOPHY, THE LAW AND ANISATNS AROUND THE WORLD HAVE A REAL ISSUE WH BEG BISEXUAL OR GAY. HOWEVER, WE MT NCLU THAT THIS FLI THE FACE OF FACTO EVINCE THAT HOMOSEXUALY IS ABSOLUTELY NOT ABNORMAL, AND THAT SOCIETY MT ALLOW PEOPLE THE RIGHT TO BE DIFFERENT WH A WORLD OF PREJUDICE, PERSECUTN, PROECUTN AND CEL DISCRIMATN.

AFTER THAT, SHE ALWAYS LIVED ALONE; SHE DIDN’T EVEN HAVE A LIVE- MAID (SHE HAD A UPLE OF BAD EXPERIENC WH THEM AND DIDN’T TRY AGA).

AS WH MOST ISSU HISTORY WE N ONLY VTIGATE AS REFULLY AS POSSIBLE, THEN FORMULATE AN OPN BASED ON AN ASSSMENT OF WHAT WE HAVE FOUND. HISTORY IS AT BT TED GUSWORK BASED ON PIECEMEAL RMATN.

ALTHOUGH MANY HOLLYWOOD SIRS CLAIMED THAT BARBARA WAS A ‘CLOSETED LBIAN’, I BELIEVE SHE WAS BISEXUAL AS WELL.
