In 1939 he married Osr-wng actrs Ja Gaynor, to whom he remaed wed until his ath 1959.

Their marriage is believed to be a lavenr marriage, which was an arrangement ma to bunk mors that they were both gay. Diana McLellan mentns this her book The Girls and the uple’s relatnship is heavily analyzed William Mann’s Behd the Screen: How Gays and Lbians Shaped Hollywood, 1910-1969.

‘PLAY IT GAY:’ QUEER REPRENTATN

Actor Bob Cummgs is quoted the book as sayg, “Ja Gaynor’s hband was Adrian, the MGM fashn signer. Gaynor and Adrian were succsful durg a time when any sort of evince of their homosexualy would have hurt their reers, so ’s not surprisg that there isn’t ncrete evince about the tth of their relatnship.

Hollywood has also given great films about same-sex relatnships and gay rights such as Brokeback Mounta to Milk.

But there was a darker time Hollywood when homosexual stars had to keep their sexualy as private as possible. When asked to discs the matter, he reportedly said, “No, I’m not homosexual, but I am also not gog through life wh one hand tied behd my back.

He accepts a gay in and perhaps if tim are different he is more open about his feelgs for men. Were you aware that the two great sex symbols were likely secretly homosexual?

HA IS ONE OF THE NOW-FOTTEN STARS OF THE SILENT SCREEN: HANDSOME, WTY AND GOOD-NATURED, BETWEEN 1926 AND 1931 HE WAS ONE OF THE BIGGT BOX-OFFICE DRAWS HOLLYWOOD, TOP ON MGM'S ROSTER OF STARS AND ADORED BY WOMEN FILM FANS EVERYWHERE. SPECIALIZG PLAYG THE ROLE OF THE "WISECRACKER," A JOKG, LIKABLE TRICKSTER HERO WHO STARTS OUT A B OF A LOUT BUT ALWAYS LEARN HIS LSON BY THE END OF THE FILM, HA MA HIS ON-SCREEN NAME AS A ROMANTIC HERO AND HIS OFF-SCREEN REPUTATN AS ONE OF THE MOST OUTGOG, CHARISMATIC AND POPULAR FIGUR HOLLYWOOD.HA WAS ALSO GAY, AND HE SET A TREND HOLLYWOOD BY LIVG OPENLY WH HIS LOVER, JIMMIE SHIELDS. WHEN THE POLIL WATERS CHANGED AROUND THE EARLY 1930S, HA REFED TO PLAY THE STUD "GAME"--TO REPUDIATE JIMMIE, TO ENTER TO A SHAM MARRIAGE AS SO MANY OTHER ACTORS DID, TO PRETEND TO BE WHAT HE WASN'T. AND IS THIS THAT PRECIPATED HIS EARLY EX OM THE MOVI, AROUND 1934. NOW THE BGRAPHER AND JOURNALIST WILLIAM J. MANN, FASCATED BY HA'S LORFUL RISE AND FALL THE FILM WORLD AND HIS UNIQUE REFAL TO VE TO THE STUD MANDS, HAS SHAPED AROUND HIS LIFE AN TRIGUG EXPLORATN OF FIFTY YEARS OF SHIFTG TSELTOWN MOR.MANN, TAKG AN AFFECTNATE BUT REFULLY CRIL VIEW OF THE HERO OF HIS BOOK, TRAC HA'S LIFE THROUGH S MULTIPLE METAMORPHOS. ONE OF THE BOOK'S CENTRAL REVELATNS IS THAT HOLLYWOOD THE 1920S WAS A PLACE WHERE WAS POSSIBLE TO BE OPENLY GAY. HOMOSEXUALY WAS SIMPLY ACCEPTED; GAY AND STRAIGHT PEOPLE MGLED SOCIALLY AS WELL AS PROFSNALLY, AND THERE WAS A LE DIVIDG THE ON-SCREEN PERSONA OF AN ACTOR OM HIS PRIVATE LIFE. BUT WH THE ADVENT OF SOUND AND THE NSERVATIVE REACTNISM OF THE 1930S WHICH ACPANIED THE START OF THE GREAT DEPRSN, A CRACKDOWN ENSUED ON BOTH THE NTENT OF THE FILMS AND THE PRIVATE LIV OF THEIR STARS.MANN SHOWS BOTH THE LONG-TERM EFFECT OF THE FORC UPON THE MOVI--THE FAMO HAYS MORALY , WHICH NSTRAED THE MOVI TO REPRENTG A RIGIDLY FED VALUE SYSTEM WHOSE IRON GRIP DID NOT BEG TO LOOSEN UNTIL THE 1960S AND '70S--AND THE VERY PERSONAL IMPACT UPON THE ACTORS HOLLYWOOD. THE STUDS CLARED THAT BEG GAY WAS NO LONGER OKAY HOLLYWOOD, THEREBY AVOIDG THE HARSH CRICISM OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH AND OTHER RELIG GROUPS, AND PROVIDG SP NTROL ON THE GOSSIP NEWSPAPERS THAT WERE RAPIDLY TAKG ON AN ALARMG PENNCE. ACTORS WHO WERE MORED TO BE HOMOSEXUAL WERE ORRED TO GET MARRIED AND GIVE THE PUBLIC WHAT WANTED: A PERSONA WHO F THE ON-SCREEN IMAGE OF AN ACCEPTABLY "MANLY" MAN OR "FEME" WOMAN. MOST ACTORS ACQUICED, TO ONE GREE OR ANOTHER. WHEN HA TOLD MGM STUD HEAD LOUIS B. MAYER, A SCENE THAT HAS BEE LEGEND, THAT HE WAS ALREADY MARRIED--TO HIS LOVER, JIMMIE SHIELDS--HE FOUND HIMSELF "BOOTED OUT" OF THE MOVIE DTRY.HA'S LIFE BOTH THE MOVI AND AFTERWARD, AS "RATOR TO THE STARS," PROVIS A KEYHOLE THROUGH WHICH WE N GET A VERY TIMATE GLIMPSE OF HOLLYWOOD LIFE, GAY AND STRAIGHT, AS ONCE EXISTED BEHD THE VEIL OF SECRECY. HA KNEW EVERYONE (AND SEEMS TO HAVE HAD AFFAIRS WH MANY OF THEM). THROUGH HIS EY, AS RENSTCTED BY MANN, WE SEE THE CREASGLY HIDN WORLD OF EARLY GAY HOLLYWOOD: THE ACTORS--CARY GRANT AND RANDOLPH STT, CLTTE COLBERT AND MARLENE DIETRICH, GRETA GARBO AND RAMON NOVARRO--AND THE PEOPLE BEHD THE SCEN, SUCH AS DIRECTOR GEE COR AND JET-SETTG POSER COLE PORTER, THE TWO FOL POTS OF GAY MALE HOLLYWOOD SOCIETY THE 1930S AND 40S.THE WILLIAM HA STORY IS ALSO A LOVE STORY, ALTHOUGH S POIGNANCY DO NOT BEE FULLY APPARENT UNTIL VERY LATE HIS BGRAPHY. BOTH HA AND JIMMIE SHIELDS SEEM TO HAVE BEEN REMARKABLY PRIVATE MEN; SPE THE HUNDREDS OF HA QUOTATNS AND REMISCENC BY IENDS THAT MANN HAS DRAWN ON, MOST OF HA' MENTS TO THE WORLD FEEL LIKE "WISECRACKS"--HIS TRAMARK BRAND OF FENSIVE HUMOR--AND 'S HARD TO GET A FEELG THAT WE UNRSTAND THIS MAN'S NER LIFE. EVEN LS RMATN REMAS ABOUT SHIELDS, AND WHAT REMISCENC HIS IENDS DO OFFER SOUND RATHER MORE BOORISH THAN ENARG. (RUMOR HAS THAT HA' TRANGEMENT OM COLE PORTER, FOR STANCE, WAS PRECIPATED BY PORTER'S TCHG JIMMIE UNROLY HAVG SEX WH A SAILOR THE BH DURG ONE OF HIS ELEGANT SOIRE.)THE BGRAPHY OF WILLIAM HA IS A REMARKABLY RICH DOCUMENT OF 50 YEARS OF CHANGG HOLLYWOOD MOR, AND MANN HAS SUCCEED ADMIRABLY HIS STATED GOAL OF SHEDDG LIGHT ON THE TOO-LONG-NEGLECTED WORLD OF EARLY HOLLYWOOD GAY LIFE AND CULTURE. BUT 'S THE OTHER THREADS NNG THROUGH HA' LIFE WHICH GIVE THE BOOK S IMPACT: HA' CHANGG IENDSHIPS, HIS PASSNATE LOVE FOR HIS TERR SIGN BS, HIS TTY TREATMENT BY THE SNDAL PRS AND HIS VOTN TO JIMMIE. THROUGH THAT TIMATE, PERSONAL STORY, MANN IS ABLE TO SUCCSFULLY BRG HOME THE IMPACT OF WHAT STARTED OUT AS HIS BOOK'S CENTRAL NARRATIVE: THE SOCPOLIL STORY OF THE "STUTNALIZATN OF THE HOLLYWOOD STORY OF HOW AN DTRY CHANGED, HOW A MUNY OF ARTISTS AND EE THKERS TURNED S BACK ON S OWN THE FACE OF ANIZED, TRADNALIST PRSURE."
