At least back then they were screwing each other and not little kids.

Gossip and trash.

But Hollywood has always been a hedonistic place...

The biggest offender was Rock Hudson.
The list of teen-20’s boys and young men lives he destroyed is very long.
For starters:
Sal Mineo
James Dean

Whatever. Some surprises, I guess, but this doesn’t seem to pass the sniff test, if I cared enough:

“One day Cary Grant was in the gas station and Rock Hudson just happened to be there, so Cary Grant picked him up. I fixed him up with Rock for 20 bucks, and Rock saw him several times. This is before Rock had any movie.”

I’d be slightly more interested in a full accounting of what taxpayers funded for Barney Frank running a brothel out of his apartment, and crimes he committed for which he may still be held accountable in some way.

I really think the ‘little kids (especially boys)’ started in the 50’s. Read about Tommy Kirk. He was booted from Disney when he was found in a swimming pool getting close with another guy. It has been going on for decades. And while you’re at it, look up Corey Haim. Sickening.

The slime from the upper levels is descending.

“Who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness, with greediness.”

This is why we call it Hollyweird, another name for Sodom and Gomorrah.

This was a link on Drudge...

....when I was once naive ( long ago and far away)....I would have immediately dismissed this

Now, with all the news of sexual predators and pedophiles......I believe every word.

In the movie industry....even in the 30’s, 40’s etc......or especially in those years....
....the industry squashed all hints of impropriety......even though, for many, sexual deviancy was rampant, I now believe

Gossip and trash.

Perhaps.

The cliche is, ‘everyone, has a piece of the truth’.
From an old skinny guy.

Exactly.

I could tell you about David and Bathsheba, but that is because that story actually has a point.

I’m not going to read it, but “outing” people that can not defend themselves is the act of a coward. Cary Grant and Spencer Tracy were not queers.
