George Macready. A close friend of Vincent Price. They opened The Little Gallery in Beverly Hills. 'We rented a hole in the wall next door to Martindale's book shop and a very popular bar, figuring correctly that we'd catch a mixed clientele of erudites and inebriates.' Price and Macready saw the gallery not only as an indulgence of their own interests, but as a showcase for young artists, and a way to expose the general public to art and art appreciation. The establishment merited photos and two full columns in Newsweek magazine, but rent increases forced The Little Gallery to close after two years.

Macready was said to have married Elizabeth Dana Patterson from 1931 to 1943 but there is no information on her available.

Is there a list somewhere of openly gay actors?

George Macready is one of my favorite character actors

by Anonymousreply 9October 13, 2023 12:38 PM

I saw him in a film yesterday and noticed how he speaks with a lisp. Or an English accent though he wasn't playing a Brit and was born in the USA.

But then Macready claimed to be a descendent of the 17th-Century English actor William Charles Macready, whose example he cited as the chief inspiration for his own pursuit of acting.

Howard Hughes…several leading men in Hollywood allegedly were seduced by him. Yuck.

by Anonymousreply 16October 28, 2023 11:18 PM

I have not heard this about Howard. I have certainly heard he was a womanizer. One woman said he was the worst lay in bed she ever had but I can't remember who said that.

Yuck, no one ever claimed Trump was gay. And we do NOT want him on the team

Howard Hughes was bisexual. Many of his various boy toys show up in his films - Jack Buetel (The Outlaw) was one.

Don’t know why either Flynn or Niven would be shocking. Both were old time libertines.

by Anonymousreply 20October 29, 2023 1:05 AM

Maybe because Niven rejected Flynn's advances? Did he protest too much?

Doug Fairbanks, Jr. allegedly was one of Hughes' conquest. Although Douglas was supposed to have rejected Noel Coward.

I'll have to go back to read the original thread, but David Niven, gay?

He was a notorious womanizer.

by Anonymousreply 25November 20, 2023 5:45 AM

I doubt that Errol Flynn was gay. Flynn was attracted to young girls. He was charged with statutory rape in 1942. He was acquitted, but in his autobiography he writes about a sexual relationship with an underage girl in his pre-stardom days when he worked on a plantation in New Guinea, and he was in a relationship with a 17 year-old when he was 50.

I was never a fan so I never thought about it.

Niven claims Flynn and he had a great bromance. That is until the day Flynn put the moves on him. Niven said it made him very uncomfortable and their friendship was never the same again.

Niven never said that. He addressed the rumors in his memoir but said Errol was fucking so many girls it would have been impossible for him to be gay/bi

Truman Capote also mentioned going home with him once after a 1949 party. (This was when the writer was young and trim. Thank god.)

Some are probably bi- but the Grand Ole Opry might as well be called the Grand Ole Gay Bar

R70 I was surprised because we all have to hear rumors for the first time, after which sometimes we are surprised. Did you know Robert Taylor was in a lavender marriage with Barbara Stanwyck when you came out of the womb? I was a child when I first saw Robert Taylor (hosting Death Valley Days, I think). I saw him in some movies. He wasn’t very well known any more. Then I heard rumors years later that he might be gay. Isn’t that how it works?
