Old Hollywood Actor Sheds Light On Old Gay Ways
Come "Out" In New Book

granger9k.jpg
Farley Granger's new memoir gives new meaning to "Better late than never". The 81-year old's Include Me Out pulls the curtain from the silver screen star's sex life to reveal his bisexual past.

Though he had flings with Ava Gardner and Shelley Winters, the Rope and Gypsy star dabbled in the dick. IHT reports:

Granger describes a Honolulu night that epitomized his life. A 21-year-old virgin and wartime Navy recruit, he was determined to change his status. He did so with a young and lovely prostitute. He was about to leave the premises when he encountered a handsome Navy officer. Granger was soon in bed again.

"I lost my virginity twice in one night," he writes.

What a go-getter.

Though this may be the first time you've heard of Granger's randy ways, he explains that he actually came out ten years ago, when Arthur Laurents revealed his sexuality in an interview.

Granger certainly wasn't the only closeted actor in old Hollywood. As we all know, Rock Hudson hid his homo ways from the public. Though their fans may not have known, Granger writes of a gay boys club:

There were cliques for gays, like the one that met at (director) George Cukor's house. I was never invited, and I don't think I would have gone if I had been. I was fortunate to join the musical crowd.
And the musical crowd wasn't a gay club? My, how things change.

Anybody who has ever watched the Celluloid Closet knew that Farley slept with men. He talked about that the villians in Rope was chosen because they were gay in real life. However, this is the first I have heard of him sleeping with women.

I lurve Mr. Granger! One of my fave films is, "Behave Yourself" with Shelley Winters. Laugh out loud funny--and very sexy 8^)

So, is he still chomping at the dick?

Granger was a virgin until 21?!!! Oh man oh man, that's gonna fuel my fantasies for a week or so. Imagine deflowering that beautiful lad.

I always thought he shoulda been a bigger star than he was. A good actor and so handsome, especially in "Strangers on a Train" and "Rope."

Farley Granger was the best looking actor in post-War Hollywood, excepting Guy Madison (ggrrrr!). The fact that he was a big 'mo makes me salivate. and apparently a truly classy guy, too.
