Then you should read of the long marriage of Dorothy and Robert Mitchum, she married him at a young age, like 16 or 17. She knew damn well he was having affairs, but he always came home to her and she was not going to divorce him.
Mitchum I believe did have an affair with Marilyn Monroe, he once talked about her vagina and something unusual about it. He died at home with Dot and his kids with him.
I always liked Mitchum in his movies.
We don’t have unusual actors like these anymore. Even just in terms of looks, contemporary ones all seem so boring comparatively.
I was looking at the picture of the woman Bacon with whom Newman purportedly had the affair.
Her body was the normal woman’s body of the time. Not the hard man’s body with breasts so popular today. No large muscles or prominent muscles and soft thighs.
Womanly.
I sometimes wonder whether this physical masculinization of women is a core issue in the fall of our current culture.
