Lainie Kazan Says She Never Met a Man Who Didn’t Try to Sleep With Her
New York Post ^ | July 15, 2021 | Nicki Gostin

“There wasn’t a man I met with that didn’t try to sleep with me,” Old Hollywood icon Lainie Kazan tells Page Six.

Her strategy for defusing such situations? “Sometimes I tried to play dumb. [As if] I didn’t see it, I didn’t understand it. You know, it was playful. There was no way to be as direct as we are now.”

But Kazan points out that when she did end up in an “entanglement” with a suitor it was “not because the guy was saying, ‘You’re not getting the role otherwise.'”

"Kazan points out that when she did end up in an “entanglement” with a suitor it was “not because the guy was saying, ‘You’re not getting the role otherwise."

Sounds to me a bit like the feigned outrage in the old Winston Churchill story where he replies: "We already know what you are, Ma'am, we're simply negotiating the price".

Maybe. But how many women would admit it if they did? That would be de-facto prostitution.

I had to look up Lainie Kazan on Google. She does resemble Barbra Streisand in a number of ways, and was once her understudy for a part on Broadway.

Nope. No ego getting in the way here. In fact, it is the only distinguishing factor that can be determined.

She worked in Hollywood and never met a gay man? Color me skeptical.

No, she never met Rock Hudson or Gomer Pyle, apparently.

From what I’ve read Maureen O’Hara was not a woman to mess with. She’d just as soon coldcock you as look at you. She could eviscerated you with a look. My kinda woman. You gotta know how to handle nitro.

The dirty secret of most “homosexuals” is that they have sex with the opposite sex far more often than they engage in homo sex.

“Gay” and “lesbian” are mostly labels they use to shake their fist at the world.
Which is why they can’t just do their thing and leave the rest of us out of their sex lives, even if it is a total farce for most of them.

They need attention and approval of their dysfunction from the world. They must constantly demand validation of themselves at their worst and that need can never be satisfied.

Honest to Pete, I never heard of her; and I’ve been up and down the road a few times. But my first instantaneous impression upon seeing the photo was: Cross-dresser! There’s a strange “masculine” air about that person. Sorry. No sale. Give me Liz Taylor. Ava Gardner. Jane Russell. Barbara Bel Geddes, eeevunn!

Lainie Kazan was a known shoplifter at supermarket before Christmas Eve arrest, report says

By MARTHA ROSS | Bay Area News Group December 29, 2017
https://www.mercurynews.com/2017/12/29/lainie-kazan-was-a-known-shoplifter-at-supermarket-before-christmas-eve-arrest/

Employees at a San Fernando Valley supermarket knew to be on the look-out for actress Lainie Kazan, who was arrested there on Christmas Eve on suspicion of shoplifting, according to TMZ.

The 77-year-old, who played matriarch Maria Portokalos in the 2002 film “My Big Fat Greek Wedding,” had pulled off a certain shoplifting routine several times in the past at Gelson’s supermarket, the gossip site said.

She would fill up her basket, walk toward the checkout line and then make a quick exit without paying as other shoppers were leaving the store. Security cameras had recorded Kazan shoplifting items in the past, TMZ was told.

Kazan reportedly tried the same trick on Christmas Eve, but this time she was caught, trying to leave the store with $180 in unpaid groceries she had placed in reusable bags, TMZ said. The allegedly stolen items included some cleaning supplies, a hot rotisserie chicken, tomatoes, Jell-O and uncured pepperoni.

Workers were monitoring Kazan when she entered the store on Sunday, and they notified loss prevention, according to the gossip site. Employees waited until Kazan left the store before confronting her.

Kazan was arrested on suspicion of petty theft and released without bail.

Kazan’s lawyer, Mark Werksman, told TMZ that the arrest was a “misunderstanding” and that they didn’t give his client a chance to pay for her items. He also denied that Kazan had shoplifted at the store in the past.

Lauren was with Boggie. Thelma Lou was a different gal.
