In the last few years I've seen almost all of his later westerns and have come to enjoy them and Scott very much. Like Rock Hudson, Tab Hunter I don't think about their sexuality when they are on screen.Tom B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08555044041861931878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6992859449438730566.post-59873915255180901222009-02-20T12:19:00.000-08:002009-02-20T12:19:00.000-08:00Randy was a very religious man.

I was told by several people over the years that if you wanted to see him all you had to do was to go to his church, I believe he was Catholic, in Beverly Hills on any given Sunday as he never missed a Sunday service. I never went as I thought it would be intruding....John Crummetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00356470203980345130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6992859449438730566.post-45591904741316656222009-02-20T05:53:00.000-08:002009-02-20T05:53:00.000-08:00If you liked fonda's politics you didn't care for ...If you liked fonda's politics you didn't care for stewarts.If you liked stewart's politics you didn't care for fondas.Hollywood and the country have always devided on this subject.But hollywood and the country have always agreed that they were straight.Scott and grant were penny pinching tight and said that there bachelor hall was shared to save money.Eleven or twelve years is a long time to share to save money.Grant made two films with The Philadelphia Story one of them where he worked for free and gave his salaries for the war effort.That doesn't seem penny pinching tight to me.Randy took a show to the troops with joe derita later of the stooges and little joe was queer as a two dollar bill.Grant believed it was lighter and simpler to fold and pack panties in his suitcase plus it took less room.Grant got past the hays office that line in Bringing Up Baby ''Because I just went gay all of a sudden!"" they never picked up on it.The line wasn't in the script,grant did an adlib.George Cukor said grant was extremely closed mouth about it,but randy would tell a friend.Randy was referred to as the wife.A role I don't much care for.After all is said and done,who is living that was at a bachelor hill party in 1933 and saw them hold hands? Nobody.This means nothing to me.I can spout off the top of my head hear say and conjecture all day and nothing holds up in court.Roger Patterson took grainy 8mm footage in 1967 of a bigfoot.Forty two years later we have still no better proof than that.If someone says he saw them leave a film fuction at night and kiss in the parking lot goodbye in 1967,we have a one witness not on oath report.I judge the performance,not the private persona of the actor.I really and truly feel true pity for christopher scott spending his life defending his father.He should not have to do this.It will never die down and it will never go away.I don't care myself.But a lot of others sure seem to care.Raymiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05364318896880090180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6992859449438730566.post-46161296786122089132009-02-19T19:17:00.000-08:002009-02-19T19:17:00.000-08:00I couldn't say it any better.I couldn't say it any better.John Crummetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00356470203980345130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6992859449438730566.post-7082247971848681412009-02-19T18:42:00.000-08:002009-02-19T18:42:00.000-08:00Like you say, it makes no difference to me if Scot...Like you say, it makes no difference to me if Scott was gay. In CARY GRANT:a biography by Marc Eliot he addresses the alleged relationship between the two stars and concludes that there indeed was a sexual relationship. The evidence is dubious; they shared a house together and palled around. So did Henry Fonda and James Stewart, but nothing is implied there. James Ellroy often refers to Scott as not only gay but wildly promiscuous. Although Scott never appears in any of his novels about Hollywood and crime (WHITE JAZZ, THE BIG NOWHERE, AMERICAN TABLOID), he is often said to have f***pads all over L.A. Bottom line? We'll never know for sure. Even if some middle aged man comes forth saying he and Scott were lovers, how do we know he's not in it for the dough of exploiting a dead star's sexuality? Regardless, his westerns live on, and it's a better world for having them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
