It baffles me how having a voice on a thread within a platform that has a very wide scope of interest among diverse groups can result in such infighting. Perhaps few remember the history of Hollywood, or are in the same Queen of DeNile barge as what Hollywood always covered... a base of largely homosexual actors who if not gay themselves were certainly in the thick of it in any related social setting there.
Henry Willson was impressive in his ability to extract sex in exchange for his ability to catapult male stars into idols of the silver screen with his many clients... including
Rock Hudson,
Tab Hunter,
Chad Everett,
Robert Wagner,
Nick Adams,
Guy Madison,
Kerwin Mathews,
Troy Donahue,
Mike Connors,
Rory Calhoun,
John Saxon,
Yale Summers,
Clint Walker,
Doug McClure,
Dack Rambo,
Ty Hardin, and
John Derek.
(links to Wikipedia). Henry notoriously made sex with him a scaled condition of placement.
Cary Grant was absolutely open with his attraction to Randolph Scott, but as he was married to a woman most of the day ignored it. Except for the gossip Hollywood insider rags, of course.
Though married (often beards, sometimes not), stars like Paul Newman, James Dean (a favorite toy of Marlon Brando) and many, many others came through their initiations to land where they did.
Casting by sex in fact was far more heavily weighted to homosexuality than casting agents asking sex of female bombshells, which dates back to the roaring 20's when film was young, and homosexual sex was extremely common, not hidden, and even celebrated among celebrities at lavish flapper parties.
If you have any doubts, do a little digging. The true histories of Hollywood hunks makes for some very interesting reading.
