You must have never been to his Vegas show, then. The woman fawned over him. It was the strangest thing. Their husbands even got involved and sang along, enjoying the camp.
The rock star Alice Cooper told a story about Liberace, when he performed live with him he said that after the show LIberaces voice turned into a deeper, less "gay" voice and he was asking if there were any female groupies around.
I disagree with the statement that Liberace "kept his sexuality a tightly guarded secret ?". Even though he denied being gay repeatedly if you just looked at any of his appearances on stage or in interviews, he SCREAMED that he was gay.
He was obviously gayer than a pink silk hat,andso what? It's a shame that these people had to hide their true selves due to the predujice of those times.

Agreed - except for the fact that it's not about "private life". Straight people advertise their sexuality all the time. Look at all the sex and inuendo on TV and in literature. Straight people announce their sexuality to the world by wearing wedding bans (not exclusive to straights anymore due to gay marriage, but that is only recent).

I had a feeling Cesar Romero might’ve been gay. When I was a kid watching him play the Joker when the Joker would get really happy about a particular diabolical plan he would laugh. maniacally, and say the word,” delicious! Delicious!” I thought to myself,” that’s a pretty strange expression for a man to use”
so many mistakes in this starting with Valentino's first wife it was Jean Acker not as you stated John Ackroyd, not to mention the spelling mistakes with Sir John's surname (Gilud and Geldoff) and others. If you are going to do these videos spend a bit of extra time and get things right.
Liberace "secretly" gay? That has got to be one of the worst ways to keep a secret that I could think of. Now, as to Jack Casidy, I am surprised. I find it hard to believe he was gay. He was always one of the more manly adversaries to Lieutenant Columbo. In some scenes he looked like he was about to throw Columbo out a window!
Jack was said to be bisexual and possibly suffering from Bipolar,if you watch the tv movie The Phantom of Hollywood you can see actual vintage photos of Jack in his heyday as the Phantom talks about his life RIP Jack 💎
Yes, because all gays are frail and couldn't hurt a fly. Jeezus, check the 1950s stereotypes. Gay people are as diverse as straight people, from bodybuilders and rugby players to Navy seals and mountain climbers. Jack Cassidy was well-known to be queer. Surprise!
John Wayne was not gay, BUT one possible reason his picture is there is there are rumors that back in the silent era, to get their first jobs, both Wayne (whose real first name is Marion) and Gary Cooper were victims of the casting couch. And that perhaps even Clark Gable was.
I always suspected Jack Cassidy was gay. That hair and mustache thingy was a give away. But he was really married and had kids. In a way, those are the worst kind.

There is no evidence whatsoever that John Wayne was gay so therefore his image should NOT be used as a screenshot for this video. Report this channel. Greedy clickbaiter that's simply trying to cash in from RUclips at others expense.
And DO You know 100% if John Wayne never suk a DK??? Where you around him 24 hours a day ?? You dont know what he did in private. Like some of these christian MF's they preach against gay people and in private secret they SuK DK. Its called CLOSET repressed gay men.
@@goldenfrog6EsCoSes Who said being gay was a crime? If you're gay, or your late famous family member was, how would you like it if a RUclipsr put your face on a video and said "Actors that were really straight" or something similar? This greedy channel is trying to get engagement by disinformation. Simple. When you state "Who cares" maybe his son and a legion of fans would as Mr Wayne was seen as an alpha male and played such roles in which he was esteemed.
Sexual preferences were not a sexual identity. If people weren't cavorting in the streets scaring the horses who cares what people preferred to do in private. My mother likes Liberace and she knew very well he wasn't living a conventional life. It didn't matter.
Of course it is important to call homosexual artists by their names! They were and are exposed to the greatest social dangers, of which women in their role as victims have not the slightest idea. One should kneel down before homosexuals. They have ennobled the world. But in certain countries they are still hanged or stoned to death today! Not important? Do you even know what you're talking about ?!! The greatest artists in world history were mostly homosexual men: Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Tchaikovsky, Franz Schubert, Beethoven, Proust, Thomas Mann, Cocteau, Rudolfo Valentino, Yves Saint Laurent, Ludwig the Second, King Friedrich II and thousands more. Corona has now given them the rest, homosexuals who, like women, were not supported by a husband. Since women have forced their way into culture everywhere, women are allowed to be called women, art has suffered greatly. Women want equal rights, but only in the upper sectors!
Love them enough to tell them, and others, that the gay lifestyle is a sin and you need to repent of it if you want to be saved and not end up dying in hell like Sodom and Gomorrah. 🔥 Jude 7, Luke 13:3.
You'd think, for both of these elderlies, when there's snow on the roof there ought to be some sense in the head below it. There's no fool like an old fool. And considering how close they are to meeting their Maker, you'd think they'd start getting worried about the sinful life they've been living and how they've been flouting authority all these decades and flipping God the bird like the unrepentant fornicators in Sodom and Gomorrah. And how did that work out for them? 🔥 Jude 7, Luke 13:3.
Seriously. I need to know WHY ANYONE needs to *"address their sexuality"* to anyone. I am heterosexual and never - not even once - have been inclined to nor asked to *"address my sexuality."* It is an intrusive requirement to make of anyone. And I would be highly offended of anyone imposed that requirement on me. So, I get why some gay people are testy and annoyed with others barging into the personal lives.
God barged into everyone's personal lives in Sodom and Gomorrah when He annihilated them with fire when they refused to repent of their perverted and sinful lifestyle. 🔥 Jude 7, Luke 13:3. The wages of sin has always been death, and fornication is a sin. Exodus 20:14, 1 Cor. 6:9, 10, Rev. 21:8, Matthew 5:28.
I remember these individuals. I am seventy, and remember that the overwhelming majority of people while growing up in California at the time, cared very little, if at all about these men's sexual proclivities. I find it hard to believe the the identity of a gay individual today is still such a struggle that people go to great extremes acting out every year at Pride events. Then again, I also realize that many of these individuals come from other states to California, where I live, in order to live in a tolerant environment. The Castro neighborhood in San Francisco for example, has always been a place for gay men to go and live in in order to forge and nurture their sexual identity.
I never thought Tony Randall was gay. He was in intellectual with a huge grasp of the English language. That hardly suggested he was gay. In reality, according to the actor who played Oscar Madison, Tony was a slob and he was the neat freak.
I can somewhat understand gay women, especially if they're hot, but how a man could be that way I just don't understand, then again I don't have to understand because it's none of my business.
There was a rumour that I read somewhere that John Wayne had piles that caused him to walk the way he did. If it's true what he said about Rock Hudson- " what a waste of a face on a fag" which he later denied then that that is certainly a homophonic remark.
@LuisRojas-v1n true, I have had a laugh on this site, but at the end of the day who really cares, they were all great actors and showman and entertainers that's good enough for me.
They showed the _Seinfeld_ cast sitting on chairs with the Merv Griffin sign behind them. 7:18. Kramer found all that Merv Griffin stuff in a dumpster and brought it into his apartment to have fun imitating the show.
Some of these guys were into young men, who were not necessarily gay, but knew who to sleep with in order to advance their careers. The casting couch knew no bounds.
JW probably was gay... its been rumored for decades. But they didn't have any supporting proof, so they made the statement by putting him in the thumbnail... but didn't make a segment about him in the video so they had plausible deniability.
Again! Ceasar Romaro is linked to Secretly Gay gossip...When nobody ever knew and were left guessing. By his silence he wass telling the world..."My personal life belongs only to me"...Everybody has to suspect or label...He could have been non-sexual...even religious but that too is also very personal.
Why is necessary for anyone to scream out that they’re gay. Who gives a toss what anyone’s preferences are. The need to label everyone with a label is applying. Get a life people.
Lee's secret was that HE was Fang, Phyllis Diller's secret hot lover; all the rest being similar to Gorgeous George's act of being gay. (Also Phyllis was a real accomplished pianist. I've photos of those two rascals laying on a very fancy bed upstairs.) Anyone remember him, G.G., a pro wrestler of the Fifties? He had an extended ordinary family hidden away and yet acted everything Fifties-gay of that time. He had special assistants who SPRAYED the ring with Chanel No.10 perfume, this to get rid the male perspiration odor of previous wrestlers. Also to remove with great ceremony his sequined cape. (Remind you of anyone?) Also he wore purple silken trunks. He sashayed and minced like crazy when coming into the ring; all the guys in the wrestling crowd pretended to hate him, with boos and catcalls but . . . they loved the guy . . . kind of like the Trump phenomenon -- love/hate/love/hate, etc. George, the gorgeous one, when coming to the ring was accompanied by various servants. He had gold bobby pins in his hair that he would remove with great solemnity, throwing them out to the ladies in the crowd, who loved the action and perhaps even catching one. A real character who died RICH for playing a false gay, and THAT early!! (One cannot imagine I think, what true gays thought of such spectacle at that that time.) Lee I think must have learned something from him, how that was to be done and DID it with great success, but only as a musician/pianist. For anyone having interest, I would recommend that his film "Forever Yours" be watched. There are scenes within it where Lee gets very SERIOUS, DARK and SEVERE, speaking normally. THAT was the real Liberace. Its not to be missed. I can verify personally that Lee (he instructed me to call him thus having weary I suppose of my addressing him as "Mr. Liberace") was a perfect gentleman in all ways and, naturally generous and solicitous of one's well-being. Truly 😇A PRINCE 😇among men, he was -- my opinion. PS Also re another wrestler, one "Classy Freddie Blassie" (a "heel' but later as turned 'good') truly was as he claimed -- "God's Gift to Women" -- and, he truly did detest Tricky Ricky Starr the "retread ballet dancer" turned wrestler. With my own ears and seeing-is-believing along with my friend Robert Hodge verifying and coequally shocked, I witnessed his declaring exactly as-follows: "If E-V-E-R I get my hands on that prancing fairy, I'll T-E-A-R him to pieces!" Well, fortunately for both he never was to, thank goodness. 🤣 Ah, past memories of great old Hollywood Days . . . where very many appearances WERE deceiving and in ways unexpected utterly.
You left out Carey Grant. He was such a great actor and though never publicly came out, lived with his gay lover. I'm straight but don't consider being gay a diminishment to these people or anyone else. Great talents!
Add to the list Louis Edmonds, who acted in soap operas including the horror soap opera "Dark Shadows", and Jonathan Frid, who played Barnabas and Bramwell Collins on "Dark Shadows."

Hard to believe Liberace was the Queen of gays .🙊🤣
I must admit I was as shocked to find out about Liberace, as I was about Mr Humphries.
I really detest these inaccurate, generated subtitles and voice overs.. not to mention inaccurate use of pictures.. what a pile of mercenary trash.
so many mistakes in this starting with Valentino's first wife it was Jean Acker not as you stated John Ackroyd, not to mention the spelling mistakes with Sir John's surname (Gilud and Geldoff) and others. If you are going to do these videos spend a bit of extra time and get things right.
No. These people are clearly too dumb to follow your advice.
Yes.
@@bdavis4099 TOTALLY agree, this is one of THE worst channels on here
So true.. well said.
Liberace "secretly" gay? That has got to be one of the worst ways to keep a secret that I could think of. Now, as to Jack Casidy, I am surprised. I find it hard to believe he was gay. He was always one of the more manly adversaries to Lieutenant Columbo. In some scenes he looked like he was about to throw Columbo out a window!
Jack was said to be bisexual and possibly suffering from Bipolar,if you watch the tv movie The Phantom of Hollywood you can see actual vintage photos of Jack in his heyday as the Phantom talks about his life RIP Jack 💎
Yes, because all gays are frail and couldn't hurt a fly. Jeezus, check the 1950s stereotypes. Gay people are as diverse as straight people, from bodybuilders and rugby players to Navy seals and mountain climbers. Jack Cassidy was well-known to be queer. Surprise!
Even my mom knew Liberace was gay and I had no idea she even knew the word.
Jack Cassidy was the father of Sean Cassidy so obviously he must have had his heterosexual tendencies from time to time as well I would think.
If some of those men had relationships with other men for 40, 50 years, leave them alone. They obviousley loved the person they were with.
Then why did they _sin_ with them knowing they're just getting them killed by divine justice, like Sodom and Gomorrah? 🔥 Jude 7, Luke 13:3.
@@floogelhornzzz4770 I will not even address a response to ou
John Wayne was not gay, BUT one possible reason his picture is there is there are rumors that back in the silent era, to get their first jobs, both Wayne (whose real first name is Marion) and Gary Cooper were victims of the casting couch. And that perhaps even Clark Gable was.
Uhmmmm, news flash... JW was almost definitely gay.
Liberace kept his sexuality secret.🤣He certainly had me fooled.😂😂
I remember watching Route 66 when I was a kid. Even back then I thought George Maharis was hot.
I always suspected Jack Cassidy was gay. That hair and mustache thingy was a give away. But he was really married and had kids. In a way, those are the worst kind.
Lavender marriage was a terrible thing for all parties. Anti-gay people seem to want to condone that.

Yes, even though I'm no fan of John Wayne.to use his photo with this video is shameful click bait.
@@lufknuht5960 ….he was rumoured to be a closet homosexual, something that was quite common in the Golden Era of Hollywood.
The Studios need to sell tickets, so there was a lot of covering up at that time. Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy was one of the better examples.
@irishmick6709 Yes, I was shocked to hear about Spencer Tracy. And you're right, many did manage to keep things quiet, so there may be some legitimacy to that photo.
@@mikefruge8589 …good for you for being open- minded. We also need to put everything in context…that was then, this is now.
@@mikefruge8589 Besides being very effective clickbait, think about it this way: He *probably* was, but no one has any proof even 40 years after he died. So they put him in the thumbnail image to make the statement... but then don't give him a segment in the actual video.
There is no evidence whatsoever that John Wayne was gay so therefore his image should NOT be used as a screenshot for this video. Report this channel. Greedy clickbaiter that's simply trying to cash in from RUclips at others expense.
"There´s no evidence..." You're talking like being gay is a crime. It's not. Maybe he was, maybe he wasn't. Who cares?
Yeah, the same with Liberace, he was as straight as an arrow.
And DO You know 100% if John Wayne never suk a DK??? Where you around him 24 hours a day ?? You dont know what he did in private. Like some of these christian MF's they preach against gay people and in private secret they SuK DK. Its called CLOSET repressed gay men.
@@goldenfrog6EsCoSes Who said being gay was a crime? If you're gay, or your late famous family member was, how would you like it if a RUclipsr put your face on a video and said "Actors that were really straight" or something similar?

When you state "Who cares" maybe his son and a legion of fans would as Mr Wayne was seen as an alpha male and played such roles in which he was esteemed.

Like no onw sawc that coming!
Right! How could a masculine looking guy like him be gay. As if it even mattered at that time. His look and dressing said it all.
And his name was actually Liberace.
Sexual preferences were not a sexual identity. If people weren't cavorting in the streets scaring the horses who cares what people preferred to do in private. My mother likes Liberace and she knew very well he wasn't living a conventional life. It didn't matter.
I love your comment ❤
Remember that the Hollywood casting couch isn't used just for women.
Must be hard to get the stains out
An english heterosexual actor is as rare as a faithfull french actress.
French girls are les ho's?
😂😂😂😂😂
You left out Robert Reed -- Mike Brady on "The Brady Bunch."
All great actors it doesn’t matter weather they were straight,gay, black ,white , it’s private love them for the joy they bring on screen ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Of course it is important to call homosexual artists by their names! They were and are exposed to the greatest social dangers, of which women in their role as victims have not the slightest idea.
One should kneel down before homosexuals. They have ennobled the world. But in certain countries they are still hanged or stoned to death today! Not important? Do you even know what you're talking about ?!!
The greatest artists in world history were mostly homosexual men: Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Tchaikovsky, Franz Schubert, Beethoven, Proust, Thomas Mann, Cocteau, Rudolfo Valentino, Yves Saint Laurent, Ludwig the Second, King Friedrich II and thousands more.
Corona has now given them the rest, homosexuals who, like women, were not supported by a husband.
Since women have forced their way into culture everywhere, women are allowed to be called women, art has suffered greatly. Women want equal rights, but only in the upper sectors!
Love them enough to tell them, and others, that the gay lifestyle is a sin and you need to repent of it if you want to be saved and not end up dying in hell like Sodom and Gomorrah. 🔥 Jude 7, Luke 13:3.
When they showed Will Gear, I thought they would mention Ellen Corby as well. She was a notorious lesbian.
Not so notorious - she stayed with her female partner for over 40 years.

You'd think, for both of these elderlies, when there's snow on the roof there ought to be some sense in the head below it. There's no fool like an old fool. And considering how close they are to meeting their Maker, you'd think they'd start getting worried about the sinful life they've been living and how they've been flouting authority all these decades and flipping God the bird like the unrepentant fornicators in Sodom and Gomorrah. And how did that work out for them? 🔥 Jude 7, Luke 13:3.
@@floogelhornzzz4770 Take your superstitions and myths somewhere else.
Seriously. I need to know WHY ANYONE needs to *"address their sexuality"* to anyone. I am heterosexual and never - not even once - have been inclined to nor asked to *"address my sexuality."* It is an intrusive requirement to make of anyone. And I would be highly offended of anyone imposed that requirement on me. So, I get why some gay people are testy and annoyed with others barging into the personal lives.
God barged into everyone's personal lives in Sodom and Gomorrah when He annihilated them with fire when they refused to repent of their perverted and sinful lifestyle. 🔥 Jude 7, Luke 13:3. The wages of sin has always been death, and fornication is a sin. Exodus 20:14, 1 Cor. 6:9, 10, Rev. 21:8, Matthew 5:28.
Because you're not gay, you wouldn't understand what our experiences are. So. Please educate yourself.
I remember these individuals. I am seventy, and remember that the overwhelming majority of people while growing up in California at the time, cared very little, if at all about these men's sexual proclivities. I find it hard to believe the the identity of a gay individual today is still such a struggle that people go to great extremes acting out every year at Pride events. Then again, I also realize that many of these individuals come from other states to California, where I live, in order to live in a tolerant environment. The Castro neighborhood in San Francisco for example, has always been a place for gay men to go and live in in order to forge and nurture their sexual identity.
LOL at Liberace being "secretly gay" :D
Why show "Seinfeld" during the segment on Merv Griffin" I get the reference to the episode but it makes no sense here.
It seems if you were gay, people didnt care, but they weren't too crazy to find that a leading man liked men too
oh no! , in '73 my mom came home from work one day and announced the big secret to us teenage kids,
"Raynond Burr is Gay!"
Who cares nothing to do with the public,you are what you are STAND STRONG AND PROUD.always
It might be reasonable to report on who was straight.
I never thought Tony Randall was gay. He was in intellectual with a huge grasp of the English language. That hardly suggested he was gay. In reality, according to the actor who played Oscar Madison, Tony was a slob and he was the neat freak.
Mannerisms dont mean a thing. The opposite is true as well.
I agree he second wife came right out and said he defiantly wasn’t gay
I can somewhat understand gay women, especially if they're hot, but how a man could be that way I just don't understand, then again I don't have to understand because it's none of my business.
Missed Mike Brady of The Brady Bunch, Robert Reed.
Come on, I was 5 years-old in the 60s. I knew that Liberace was gay.
John Wayne had the walk of a runway model.
There was a rumour that I read somewhere that John Wayne had piles that caused him to walk the way he did. If it's true what he said about Rock Hudson- " what a waste of a face on a fag" which he later denied then that that is certainly a homophonic remark.
Sorry:- homophobic in place of homophonic
"Dick Sergeant"....sort of like Starsky and Hutch playing "secret detectives" in a loud, bright, red car with huge white stripes.
Bloody hell. It would be a shorter video to list who was straight in Hollywood.
John Wayne gay?? 🤣🤣🤣 The guy was literally married 3 times (divorced twice) and has 7 children.
What does that prove? Hollywood is full of beards.
The Duke gay? That'll be the day, pilgrim! But his real name was Marion.
Exactly!! Why put a picture of John Wayne on this Expose? Such cheap reporting.
he was so BUTCH
Just report the video for Misleading thumbnail.
wayne was butch
@@darrellludlow Why? There was plenty of evidence he engaged in sexual practises with young men
Don't you have a Jack Webb fan club meeting to attend?
Judging from this video, homosexuality either never involves women, or homosexual women never entered Hollywood.
I don't know about the US, but in the UK, Lesbianism was never illegal, so not so frowned upon.
please take The Dukes pic out of the thumbnail dude ...
Are you kidding? Uhmmm, I have a news flash for you...
No kidding. Nothing kills a nice boner quicker than the sight of THAT sorry, racist, no-acting piece of crap
Wayne & Walter Brennan disliked Montgomery Cliff in Red River so whats that tell you
MAY GOD BLESS THEM.THEY WAS GOOD SOULS AND VERY RESPECTFUL ACTORS.
@LuisRojas-v1n true, I have had a laugh on this site, but at the end of the day who really cares, they were all great actors and showman and entertainers that's good enough for me.
WHOA - Merv Griffin, RayMond Burr, Dick Seargent...WHAT?
Why show the cast of Seinfeld when talking about Merv Griffin? This video has many quirks and is terrible.
Because kramer found all the stuff from m.g. show, you didn't see that episode?
“Not that there’s anything wrong with that.”
They showed the _Seinfeld_ cast sitting on chairs with the Merv Griffin sign behind them. 7:18. Kramer found all that Merv Griffin stuff in a dumpster and brought it into his apartment to have fun imitating the show.

Liberace...what? What a shocker!
Some of these guys were into young men, who were not necessarily gay, but knew who to sleep with in order to advance their careers. The casting couch knew no bounds.
Using John Wayne?You bought to be thoroughly ashamed of yourselves
JW probably was gay... its been rumored for decades. But they didn't have any supporting proof, so they made the statement by putting him in the thumbnail... but didn't make a segment about him in the video so they had plausible deniability.
They ought to be ashamed of themselves for free.
Most of them were pretty obvious, although Grandpa Walton did shock me!
Acting is a magnet for people that love drama.
Again! Ceasar Romaro is linked to Secretly Gay gossip...When nobody ever knew and were left guessing. By his silence he wass telling the world..."My personal life belongs only to me"...Everybody has to suspect or label...He could have been non-sexual...even religious but that too is also very personal.
Fraudulent. Using John Wayne's picture on your thumbnail is disgraceful!
Why is necessary for anyone to scream out that they’re gay. Who gives a toss what anyone’s preferences are. The need to label everyone with a label is applying. Get a life people.
Using John Wayne image to discuss gays in Hollywood is despicable. Hopefully a relative of Wayne watched this and sues the shit out of you.
Uhmmmmm, news flash for ya...
Why is it despicable, and why would they sue.?
Lee's secret was that HE was Fang, Phyllis Diller's secret hot lover; all the rest being similar to Gorgeous George's act of being gay. (Also Phyllis was a real accomplished pianist. I've photos of those two rascals laying on a very fancy bed upstairs.)
Anyone remember him, G.G., a pro wrestler of the Fifties? He had an extended ordinary family hidden away and yet acted everything Fifties-gay of that time.
He had special assistants who SPRAYED the ring with Chanel No.10 perfume, this to get rid the male perspiration odor of previous wrestlers. Also to remove with great ceremony his sequined cape. (Remind you of anyone?) Also he wore purple silken trunks.
He sashayed and minced like crazy when coming into the ring; all the guys in the wrestling crowd pretended to hate him, with boos and catcalls but . . . they loved the guy . . . kind of like the Trump phenomenon -- love/hate/love/hate, etc.
George, the gorgeous one, when coming to the ring was accompanied by various servants.
He had gold bobby pins in his hair that he would remove with great solemnity, throwing them out to the ladies in the crowd, who loved the action and perhaps even catching one.
A real character who died RICH for playing a false gay, and THAT early!! (One cannot imagine I think, what true gays thought of such spectacle at that that time.)
Lee I think must have learned something from him, how that was to be done and DID it with great success, but only as a musician/pianist.
For anyone having interest, I would recommend that his film "Forever Yours" be watched. There are scenes within it where Lee gets very SERIOUS, DARK and SEVERE, speaking normally. THAT was the real Liberace. Its not to be missed.
I can verify personally that Lee (he instructed me to call him thus having weary I suppose of my addressing him as "Mr. Liberace") was a perfect gentleman in all ways and, naturally generous and solicitous of one's well-being. Truly 😇A PRINCE 😇among men, he was -- my opinion.
PS Also re another wrestler, one "Classy Freddie Blassie" (a "heel' but later as turned 'good') truly was as he claimed -- "God's Gift to Women" -- and, he truly did detest Tricky Ricky Starr the "retread ballet dancer" turned wrestler. With my own ears and seeing-is-believing along with my friend Robert Hodge verifying and coequally shocked, I witnessed his declaring exactly as-follows:
"If E-V-E-R I get my hands on that prancing fairy, I'll T-E-A-R him to pieces!"
Well, fortunately for both he never was to, thank goodness. 🤣
Ah, past memories of great old Hollywood Days . . . where very many appearances WERE deceiving and in ways unexpected utterly.
It’s very telling and funny that certain groups of people never get upset if someone is suspected of being heterosexual.
You're supposed to be hetero. That's what God designed since the dawn of man in Eden.
I must say, I was SHOCKED to hear that Liberace was gay. He was such an alpha-male.
Funny, almost all of them we all knew.....we even had Gaydar back in those days.
Guess my shadow banning /Censorship let up and let two likes through; bracketed by 111 and 318 likes.
I don't care who is gay (except my crushes, that would break my heart)...all I know is, they entertained me...they did their jobs.
You left out Carey Grant. He was such a great actor and though never publicly came out, lived with his gay lover. I'm straight but don't consider being gay a diminishment to these people or anyone else. Great talents!
I respectfully disagree. These men were very wealthy. Money changes people, and not in ways that are mentally and spiritually healthy.
@@Beez-k7v Having to deny yourself in order to maintain your career isn't healthy either.
Just ask JD Vance.
I was very shocked indeed to see Liberace in your clip - he always came across has a man’s man. Not in the slightest bit gay.
I'm Assuming You're Joking, HA HA😅
The epitome of machismo. Liberace made Burt Reynolds look like a bitch.
Take your head out of your ass and welcome yourself to the outside world.
No way FOOOO FOOO
Add to the list Louis Edmonds, who acted in soap operas including the horror soap opera "Dark Shadows", and Jonathan Frid, who played Barnabas and Bramwell Collins on "Dark Shadows."
Sickening!
What a shock about Sir John Gielgud and Liberace being homosexual NOT.
Could you tell me why you're using John Wayne, in the thumbnail?🤔🤔🤔🤔
