回复：[转载]好莱坞的同志男星

16.Tyrone Power（1914--1958）
他父亲也是一名演员，他本人成为30到40年代默片时代非常有名的演员之一。Tyrone Power结过三次婚 有四个子女。他的第一个老婆相识在1939年，是一名法国女演员Annabella,当时20世纪福克斯电影公司安排他们合作了多部作品。
Tyrone Power在世时，好象没有传过跟男性的绯闻。但是在他去世20年之后，不断有名人在自传中，或是作家、时尚家等等在自己的著作中，指出Tyrone Power是BI，并且拿出一些类似条条据据之类的东西，但同时，他的家人和一些朋友否认这一说法，因为本人已去世多年，究竟事实是什么，他已带进棺材了。

17.Raymond Burr 1917--1993
他20岁的时候成为演员，曾经和泰勒与蒙哥马利合演过《A Place in the Sun》，最出名的电影便是希区科克的《后窗》，演对面楼那个被偷窥的，被怀疑杀了他自己老婆的男人，女主角是格里丝凯丽。同时，Raymond Burr也出演过NBC，ABC等各家电视台的戏。
Raymond Burr跟那个年代的大多数同志男星一样，为了保存事业不得不隐藏性取向，他的经纪人和其他女明星的经纪人安排他们约会，制造绯闻，摆脱嫌疑。
当时，按照Raymond Burr公司的说法是，Raymond Burr结过三次婚，有个一个孩子，不幸去世了。但事实是（包括后来Raymond Burr的家人也证实），他只结过一次婚，从来都没有孩子。而他的其他两任妻子和早逝的孩子根本就查不到记录
Raymond Burr在当时始终没有公开自己的性取向。
在1950年代中，他遇到了一个男人Robert Benevides，他也曾是一名演员，后来在电视台工作。Raymond Burr和Robert Benevides此后便在一起了，但多年来一直是秘密的感情。一直到很后来，才公开。
之后，Raymond Burr和男友Robert Benevides离开演绎圈。他们一起搞一些兰花生意，同时，购买了一些土地，在一个叫Dry Creek Valley的地方，经营葡萄园。葡萄园是以Raymond Burr的名字来命名的
Raymond Burr的葡萄园还在，还有网站http://www.raymondburrvineyards.com/。
网站上有Robert Benevides的一段话，他说他和Raymond Burr在1986那一年，走到干河谷的某座山角下的长凳旁边，他们在那时萌发了在那里种植葡萄园的想法。
当Raymond Burr去世以后，他的侄女突然出来和Robert Benevides争夺Raymond留下的遗产。因为Raymond Burr在1993年去世的时候，美国还没有任何地方是同性关系有法律保障的。不然可能就根本没争遗产这回事了

Later accounts of Burr's life explain that he hid his homosexuality to protect his career. In 2000, AP reporter Bob Thomas recalled the situation:
It was an open secret...that he was gay. He had a companion who was with him all the time. That was a time in Hollywood history when homosexuality was not countenanced. Ray was not a romantic star by any means, but he was a very popular figure...if it was revealed at that time in Hollywood history [that he was gay] it would have been very difficult for him to continue.
Art Marks, a producer of Perry Mason, recalled Burr's talk of wives and children: "I know he was just putting on a show....That was my gut feeling. I think the wives and the loving women, the Natalie Wood thing, were a bit of a cover." In 2006, Dean Hargrove, who worked on Perry Mason Returns, said: "I had always assumed that Raymond was gay, because he had a relationship with Robert Benevides for a very long time. Whether or not he had relationships with women, I had no idea. I did know that I had trouble keeping track of whether he was married or not in these stories. Raymond had the ability to mythologize himself, to some extent, and some of his stories about his past...tended to grow as time went by."
A 2007 memoir by actor Paul Picerni described several experiences with Burr on the set of Mara Maru, when he felt Burr expressed sexual interest in him. He wrote, "I saw him staring at me. With his big blue eyes. And with this strange expression on his face. For the first time in my life, I felt like a DAME. Then it hit me: He'd been giving me all this bullshit about his wife and his two kids in London, when in fact he was gay, and he was makin' a move on me!" He remembered Burr "was a great guy and very subtle in his homosexuality

他们的葡萄园

18.Tommy Kirk(born December 10, 1941)
他生于1941年，小时候是一名童星。他13岁的时候被经纪人发现，当时的迪斯尼公司签下了他并力捧，让他拍摄了许多迪斯尼出品的电影。从那时起，年纪尚轻的他就成为很多人的偶像。
60年代的时候，Tommy Kirk拍过一部电影叫《The Monkey's Uncle》。当时他和迪斯尼的和约是到1963年，但是在那个时候，公司知道了他是同志，并且Tommy Kirk选择了公开。迪斯尼的老板Walt Disney亲自炒了他鱿鱼。
Tommy Kirk没有能续约，之前拍摄的那部电影《The Monkey's Uncle》的续集，后来就换了人了
尽管如此，Tommy Kirk还是参演其他一些影片。但是像大多数童星一样，面临转变成大人的瓶径，事业开始下滑。
之后他转向商界发展，获得了成功。2006年的时候，他的名字进入了迪斯尼公司的名人堂
在1993年他的一个专访中，他曾经说他一直都知道他的性取向会对他的事业造成影响，
"I consider my teenage years as being desperately unhappy" （我觉得我在青少年时期过的非常不愉快）
"I knew I was gay, but I had no outlet for my feelings. It was very hard to meet people and, at that time, there was no place to go to socialize. It wasn’t until the early ‘60s that I began to hear of places where gays congregated."（我知道自己是同志，但是，我不能表露我的情感，跟人交往的时候这太难了，在那时，没有地方可以去交际应酬，一直到60年代早期，我才开始听说一些同志的聚集地）
"When I was about 17 or 18 years old, I finally admitted to myself that I wasn’t going to change. I didn’t know what the consequences would be, but I had the definite feeling that is was going to wreck my Disney career and maybe my whole acting career. Eventually, I became involved with somebody and I was fired." 当我17 8岁的时候，我终于承认了我自己（性取向），也承认那是不可能改变的。我不知道这样的后果是什么，但是我确实感觉到，那会毁了我的迪斯尼事业，或者说整个演绎事业。最终，有人带我进这个圈子，也有人把我炒了。
在那段时间，他被解雇，电影票房也输掉，Tommy Kirk开始消极的沉迷于用药物麻醉自己，甚至因为吸毒差点死掉。离开迪斯尼以后，他的演艺事业就再也没起色。
幸运的是，最后他还是重新开始了
"Finally, I said, to hell with the whole thing, to hell with show business. I’m gonna make a new life for myself, and I got off drugs, completely kicked all that stuff."（最后，我对我自己说：让着所有的事见鬼去吧，什么演绎事业见鬼去吧。我要去过我新的生活，我戒掉了毒品，把所有的事情完完全全一脚踢开）
接着，他选择去了地毯和室内清洁的生意，一做就超过20年。后来谈到他曾经在迪斯尼的生涯，他说会怀念它，他拍过最喜欢的一部电影叫《Swiss Family Robinson》
