back when he was very young and very pretty and new to Hollywood, he
experimented with both sexes. Then again, it's always possible his
words could have been twisted to give it a context he never intended.
Wish I could "cite" this as I will likely be called upon to do, but I
can't remember the name of the publication -- it was a genuine print
publication, though, not just "Billy Bob's website."

I don't know if he's gay or not, but is facelift sure is. What's up with
the effeminate facelifts for older gentlemen? Mayhap we can ask Bruce Jenner.

Tawny, your a hoot. Tony did look and act gay on The View. He was
wearing a hairpiece and that gay sailor boy get up.He dates or is
married to this tall, overdone blonde female ...I smell a cover up.
He was great in some movies but was very obnoxious some time ago when
he stated " kissing Marilyn was like kissing Hitler." He was refering
to Marilyn Monroe in "Some Like It Hot". He's turned into a short
little jewish gay boy in a sailor suit...I doubt Marilyn would recognize
him!! Ha.....robbielynn

Dunno. A close friend told me about an encounter they had a couple of
years ago... My friend doesn't tend to lie to me about his
encounters...

Why not? He had the two things Curtis never had --looks and talent.

Don't know if the hermaphrodite rumor is true, but it's highly substantiated by
the admission by JL's mother that she consumed a prescription drug that, at the
time, it wasn't known that it caused birth defects--specifically sterility in
the child with whom the woman was pregnant. This is why JL has never been able
to concieve. It's not too much of a stretch to imagine that it might have done
other things to JL as well, or that she's sterile *because* she's a
hermaprodite.

He gave off grotesque vibes during his era at the box office. His

was like a phony midtown Manhattan waiter who's obsessed with the

Sex and the Single Girl, Not With My Wife You Don't, etc. No wonder
baby boomers thought all movies were clueless between 1963 (Dr.
Strangelove) and 1969 (Easy Rider and Midnight Cowboy).

Not only that, she had to be the original Feminist. She could stand

I still love the way she strode through the newsroom at the beginning of
"His Girl Friday", so self-assured.
Hard to believe she never won an Oscar, although that's true of a lot of
the greats - Barbara Stanwyck to name another one.

Yes she deserved one and was badly overlooked by the Academy.
Another great and overlooked movie of hers ( Rosalind) was Tell It To The Judge
which never fails to make me laugh.

This is probably a dumb question, but is "Mame" a musical? I'd love to see
it, but I'm allergic to musicals. Or maybe I'm just allergic to show tunes.

Good news for you! The version of Auntie Mame starring Rosalind Russell is
NOT a musical. The Lucille Ball one is -- and don't EVER see it -- it's
terrible. The Rosalind Russell version is a classic, and it deserves to be.
So -- now that your fear of show tunes has been removed -- happy renting!

Well first it was a book by Patrick Dennis ("Auntie Mame"), then a play
("Auntie Mame", starring Roz), then a film ("Auntie Mame", starring Roz),
the a musical theatre production ("Mame", who was in it??), then a musical
film production ("Mame", starring Lucy.)
Hate Lucy's Mame, but am somewhat fond of Bea Arthur's Vera Charles...
This is often a topic of HUGE debate among Mame fans who's Mame is better,
Rosalind Russell or Lucille Ball. I believe, hands down, in Roz, but there
are those fans...
Patrick Dennis (a pen-name) also wrote a number of other novels in a similar
vein. Around The World With Auntie Mame (a sequel), Little Me (the story of
Belle Poitrine), First Lady (I just found this and am reading now). The
book plate also lists Genius, Guestward Ho! (with Barbara Hooton), and The
Pink Hotel (with Dorothy Erskine) none of which I've read, but I'd wager the
co-authors are fictional...

Yes, it is, but as I said in another post, Auntie Mame, starring Rosalind
Russell, isn't a musical. If you have never seen it -- you are in for a
real treat! It's available on DVD, and is a wonderful, wonderful movie. I
can't say enough good things about it. Enjoy!

I like AL -- don't get me wrong -- but for me, Rosalind Russell is the only
Mame there is!

Oh, the Lucille Ball version was ghastly. Lucy was filmed through more
gauze than the English Patient. She could barely move, let alone dance.
She was too old for the role, and miscast as well.

Patrick Dennis was a fascinating guy - you should read his biography,"Uncle
Mame". He was a handsome, flamboyant, witty man who was gay as a day in
the country, but denied it for a long time. He was married and had a
family but eventually left his wife for a man, started drinking, stopped
writing, and wound up working as a butler for the guy who founded
MacDonalds, all the while charming everyone he met.

I haven't been following this thread so if this has already been
mentioned, sorry. There is a picture of Tony and Jack Lemmon in the
Vanity Fair magazine (with the cover of Bennifer Afleck). It is a
great, funny picture of the both of them. One thing I really noticed,
Tony must have had a few surgeries, he sure does have his share of scars
but he does have a rather good body for his age.

If they are fictional, his biography is keeping up the pretence. He also
wrote a few novels as "Virginia Rowans".

The reason I suspect they are fictional is because Little Me is written by
Belle Poitrine (main character) as told to Patrick Dennis and First Lady is
written by Martha Dinwiddie Butterfield, as told to Patrick Dennis.
Seems to me that Barbara Hooten might be a play on Barbara Hutton, the
Woolworth heiress, and Dorothy Erskine rings a bell as the name of a minor
character in either Mame books or Little Me...
I don't know - could be real women. just seems fishy. My experience of him
as an author is that he writes ABOUT eccentric women, not with them...
