John ford gay

As increasing evidence of legendary film director John Ford's closeted homosexuality emerges, film historian and biographer Richard Douglas Jensen digs deeply into the record and the result is a riveting account of John Ford's dysfunctional relationship with legendary movie icon John Wayne. It's possible that he wasn't gay but it wouldn't be because he was married for 50 years.

Extramarital affairs go on all the time. Charles Laughton was married to Elsa Lanchester for a long time and he was quite gay. It's what was known in that era as having a beard. John Martin Feeney (February 1, – August 31, ), better known as John Ford, was an American film director and producer. Ford didn’t care; he prized men for their mateyness.

He invited Wayne onto his boat, the Araner, and after a while added him to his inner circle. One day in , Ford—an Academy Award–winning. Box Office Mojo: Was John Wayne frustrated that he wasn't the male lead in Ford's The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance? Dan Ford: Look at him—he was playing the guy who doesn't get the girl who.

Re: Enough Already! Member since June Ireland is more remembered than Dailey? And even the ladylike Maureen did not describe Ford's intimacies that graphically. Didn't think of Dan Dailey or Ireland as the mystery actor. Good Guesses, either could have been involved with Mr. How many times? Member since February Don't you have anything better to talk about? I mean, the only response to your tiresome repetition came from the resident troll.

A couple of guys weighing in to chase off the troll could hardly be construed as interest in this sad hobby horse of yours I mention it here only to forestall any feeble attempt on your part to claim that a discussion is taking place.

I'm sure you would be much happier posting your thoughts on Bette Midler or Cher; so please, please go away. Re: How many times? The thing is, she didn't suggest it in a bitter or vindictive way, and she has always publicly claimed to hold Pappy in the highest regard. Gay is not an insult. However, I'm suspicious of the whole thing. She claims she saw him kissing another man. It does not necessarily follow that he was gay.

We don't need no stinking badges! Member since May She said it was a famous movie star of the period. Who was this male star? It was during the making of The Long Gray Line. The star of that film was Tyrone Power, who is considered a bisexual although he had a reputation as a ladykiller and the like. Power fits the bill as a popular movie star of that time. I'm not sure she did. She mentioned that incident as one of many and merely wonders if Ford was possibly gay.

Ford and O'Hara had a strange relationship. Ford once said in a interview that he hated Maureen O'Hara with every fibre of his being and he detested her. However Ford was perfectly courteous and charming when she came with her daughter to pay him a visit when he was dying and after that her daughter told O'Hara that Ford was in love with her which O'Hara herself confesses.

It would make some sense, since Mr. Ford's movie dealt with manly themes, like military, westerns, men in uniforms most of the time.
