Robert Mitchum was one of the few classic actors that I hadn't heard
this sort of thing alleged until now. I was browsing some film sites
and came across a blog that claimed Mitchum was a male prostitute in
his youth (I added the link below if you care to read it for
yourself). Has anyone else heard this or is it just nonsense?

I guess it is like that saying goes, You have to be there to be square.
I don't think Robert Mitchum was a prostitute.I have read before that
John Wayne was, I doubt that too.
This is the ''new age'' nowadays.Everybody is gay, except me.

I've read stories / rumors that the young Marion Morrison, who would later
find fame as John Wayne, was once a male fitness model when he first got to
H'wood.

Nothing wrong with being a male fitness model, in my opinion.Look at
those female fitness models out there.Body builders, wrestlers, etc.I
like to watch women mud wrestling.

Whatever happened to Hollywood Confidential? If you follow the blog
it says it was forced out of print. But has anyone republished those
great old articls in book form or put them on the Internet in their
entirety? Would be fun reading.

I've heard over the years that Gene Kelly, Robert Stack, and Clint

IIRC, Clint's acting coach / mentor when he first broke into acting
was gay.

I just recently read that Laughton was gay, that his marriage was
strictly for show. I'm not a fan of homo-ness to begin with, but good
gawd, that's just wrong.

Oh yeah, right. Next you're going to say that Rock Hudson was gay.


A number of years ago I saw a copy of Hustler that had pics of several
frames from an old gay porn film - I believe from the 40's or 50's -
that supposedly featured a young Chuck Connors. Supposedly the title
of it was "Chuck". I couldn't testify for a fact it was him since the
resolution wasn't great and people just look different when they're in
their teens, but it certainly looked like what you might figure a
young Chuck Connors would look like. And yes, they made some cracks
about him pumping his rifle.

Arnold Schwarzenegger did some nude modeling for gay mags for rent
money and in his book "The Education of A Bodybuilder" is quite open
about having been approached by gays who hung around gyms looking to
pick someone up, though he asserts he turned them down.

Rock Hudson? I have an old Popular Mechanics magazine here that dates
back to the 1950s.An article in the magazine has a picture of Rock
sitting in his new Horch automobile.The article title says, Rock is
ready to ride.

Some old East Side Kids/Bowery Boys movies are on the TCM channel
now.Next thing we hear/read, somebody will be saying those guys were
gay.

I once saw an interview with Mitchum and he told this great story:

In the 1940s, he was just breaking into small movie parts and still
had a job in a factory making airplane parts for WW II.

He became friendly with a co-worker named Dougherty who used to take
him home for a decent meal cooked by his wife Norma.

About a dozen years later, Mitchum is a major star and comes to the
set of "River of No Return" and realizes that his co-star, Marilyn
Monroe, is Norma Dougherty.

I've never heard or read that RM was a male hustler, but I've always
thought he was bisexual, so I wouldn't be surprised if he once was a
hustler.

Judy Garland was young, she getting fat, she smoked three packs of
cigarettes a day to curb her appetite.She had an appetite alright,
dating men who were much older than herself.

Can somebody tell me where the Fletch Lives movie was filmed? Especially
the part with the big Antebellum Mansion.
