That Holland Taylor is gay is fairly common knowledge. But damn, she's one classy broad.

I LOVE her!!! I think her 'patrician' bearing, intelligence, and class is sooooo sexy!

this thread needs to be bumped.

i want to read more about joan crawford's bisexuality. i think her past relationships with women are the most interesting. especially her infatuation with garbo.

I never got the impression that Joan Crawford was ever bisexual. I wouldn't rule out a fling or two but a bisexual, doubt it. Although, I can see her do it if it meant getting a great part in a movie.

I'm a big fan of hers and it's quite clear that she was bisexual. She had much more than just a few flings here and there - and not just to get ahead. She was completely infatuated with some women and didn't handle rejection very well. Many people who knew her said she did enjoy sex with both men and women and may have had more than just a sexual relationship with Barbara Stanwyk.

Who didn't have a sexual relationship with Barbara Stanwyk.
Any recommendations on bio books on her?

Who else is a lesbo from the 40's? Based on voice alone I would have said Bacall.

Joan Crawford was DEFINITELY bi!!! She had a long affair with Dorothy Arzner (a director), and it was rumored that alot of Betty Davis' distaste/discomfort with Crawford stemmed from the fact that Joan was bi. Betty hated Joan, and the filming of "Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?" was legendary for the degree of bitchiness and cattiness between two female stars (it has been said that Joan had once propositioned the very straight Ms. Davis, was rebuffed, and thus bad blood existed between the two women).

Old school bisexuals more like it. Most of them swallowed more cock than the gay boys so they're hardly lesbians.


Exactly!

I don't get the Barbara Stanwyck love here. Is it one person? The chick's acting was one note and stiff, I think Jodie Foster copied her style, on top of that Babs looked like a gay man.

^ There's a reason why some of these actresses are still remembered today. As far as majority of people go - she was a fine actress.

Anyways...

Ok so obviously there's some Joan Crawford fans. Who are some of the people Joan was linked to? I've never heard her link to anyone before.

The only people who remember Stanwyck are old queens,film buffs, and old lesbians looking for old lesbians. The rest of the world have absolutely no idea who Stanwyck was.

As a 24 year old, I had not idea I was an "old lesbian". Who knew?

From what I've read, she's been linked to Barbara Stanwyk, Marlene Dietrich, Greta Garbo, and several lesser known actresses. She had a huge crush on Garbo. And Marilyn Monroe said that she had a one time affair with Joan but it never happened again because it was only an experiment that made her realize that sleeping with women wasn't for her.

...I'm 15 years old and knew about Stanwyk before I even knew I was gay. So I'm definitely no "old lesbian".

I rented another silent film called Pandora's Box (1929) and it had a lesbian in it. Yay!, I know.

She played a typical lesbian - would do anything for the leading lady. She got her out of jail, gave her money, let her borrow her passaport and even (almost) slept with a man because she begged her too*. Oh and she also wore a bowtie, cause...that's how you can tells she's a lesbian, of course.

I'll look around for some photos since I didn't get any screenshots. I sent it back before I realized I forgot to do it.




*She really put up a fight over this. I was at least glad to see the huge reluctance to do it.

During the making of Grand Hotel, Garbo worked from 9:00 to 5:00; Crawford started rehearsing at 5:00 P.M. and shot her scenes between 6:00 in the evening and 2:00 in the morning. Their separate worlds collided on the staircase of the women's building. Standing back with a friend as Greta came up the stairs, Crawford thought that she had timed everything correctly – and ended up bumping right into Garbo. “I got down two steps too soon, and she just came round and she grabbed me and this magnificent face looked into mine ...”

The actress was dumbstruck as Greta took her face in her hands and told her, “I am so sorry we are not working together. It's so sad; in the same film, and no scenes. What a pity!” The effect was so mesmerizing, Crawford admitted, her knees weakened.

Has anyone read anything about Jean Arthur being a lesbian? She did many comedies inthe forties and played the mom in SHANE.

You can't really say that Joan was linked to Garbo because they never actually fucked. Joan had a crush nothing came of it. Garbo wasn't stupid.

I never said Garbo and Crawford were romantically linked, but I think the telling thing about the story I cited above, was the reaction that these women had to each other...Lesbians readily recognize the sexual attraction that was there, but I am still amazed at the straights that hear such stories and are obliviousto, or just don't want to recognize the truth about the bi/homosexuality of many celebrities.
