He never fooled me. Paul Newman had just as many on-location affairs as the rest of us, and he was just as bisexual as I was. But, where I was always getting caught with my pants down, he managed to do it in the dark.



Did anyone else know about this? I just read about it and was shocked somewhat.




scroll down way down it's 2nd to last quote. a lot more info on the infamous interview if you google as well. Newman was furious.

I had heard Brando was but didn't know anything about Newman. If it's not true then that's messed up on Brando's part for saying it.

On the salary list you'll see Brando had a piece of the gross of GODFATHER. He wound up losing that for some $50,000 bill being paid and some cash... then fired EVERYONE for giving him shitty advice. Cost him millions.

It's about 50/50 (or more) every actor you know of is gay/bisexual. Who was in theater class when you went to high school?

A few would really surprise you though -- several male action stars.

Those two probably banged so much quiff back in the day, they just had to change it up from time to time.

I'm skeptical of a lot of this. There's been a big effort under way to portray lot of classic stars as gay or bi mostly based solely on rumors and innuendo. Not saying some of them weren't just not as many as they would like you to believe.

Well, Brando admits to being bi.

There are friends of James Dean that supported him financially that say he was bi and they footed his bills until he made it.

If you've read biographies you'd recognize most of the names on that list.

But I don't want to spoil your film fandom so believe what you want. Just stay away from reading about Hollywood history and Hollywood for that matter.

You're not I don't give a shite. Brando is one of my favorites and Nicholas Ray my favorite director was openly bisexual.


All I'm saying is that there are a lot of classic stars that are merely rumored to be gay with nothing to back it up but rumor and with the dead being unable to defend their own name.


They said Cary Grant and Randy Scott were lovers caused they lived together even though both men vigorously denied it.

Sounds like Brando hated Elvis Presley from his bio page.

According to Francis Ford Coppola, he hadn't been paid for The Godfather (1972) and thus would not appear in the sequel.


This was Brando pissed off he traded away his % for peanuts.

Nicholson helped Brando out financially. Nicholson bought a house for producer Robert Evans. Nice friend.

Newman was bisexual. Had a few flings with a friend of mine's father. Doesn't change anything about the man or the actor he was. Just adds another layer. Joanne Woodward knew and they had a great relationship although later in life he remained true to her and their marriage.

I believe you and I still respect Newman to the fullest but it's just crazy to me. Did he like sodomize other men and stuff?

Newman was a great actor and set up a charity that has helped raise millions many time over.

Sure a lot of the current stars will come out of the closet at some point after their actors careers are nearly over. Kelly McGillis came out.

No, not Cool Hand Luke..no!

The Megan Fox lesbo link above, led me to Ione Skye, which led to this Japanese model/filmmaker, that has bedded Skye, Madonna, Jolie, and is now married to a model..I feel so inadequate now.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenny_Shimizu
