A Place in the Sun

Montgomery Clift

during shooting of 'Red River', circa 1948

The Advocate: There are so many biographies of Montgomery Clift and numerous websites devoted to him. What was the biggest surprise you learned about him while researching your book?
Amy Lawrence: I was most impressed by Clift’s canny understanding of his own image. Many biographers depict him as refusing to participate in the Hollywood star system, but that didn’t mean he was ignorant of it. He understood how an actor’s image was built and maintained. In giving interviews or choosing roles, he knew exactly how to shape a performance to achieve the effect he wanted — and to resist the efforts of others to simplify a character. For instance, he was aware that screenwriters and directors often wanted to make the hero perfect; Clift wanted to make the character human, complicated, and not always admirable.

Q: Clift is often spoken of in context as a “gay actor” or in conjunction with Marlon Brando and James Dean. What do you see as Clift’s singular legacy?
A: Brando and Dean both thought of Clift as singular. Brando saw Clift as his only major competition, and Dean saw him as a model, an ideal to emulate. Unlike those performers, Clift’s best work has not become dated. In Red River, From Here to Eternity, A Place in the Sun, I Confess, and half a dozen others, his performances are impeccable. At his best he is never mannered or predictable. His performances are subtle, intelligent, graceful, and deeply empathetic regardless of the character’s flaws.

Q: How did Clift’s being gay — or bisexual, as some suggest — when it was still taboo affect his drinking, drug taking, and ultimate downward spiral?
A: The homophobia of the time, which intensified nationally just as Clift’s career was beginning in the late 1940s and early ’50s, certainly exerted pressure on Clift. A serious relationship with choreographer Jerome Robbins in the ’40s threatened both their careers when Robbins was blackmailed into testifying before the House Un-American Activities Committee hearings regarding communists and other “subversives” in Washington and the entertainment community. I would be hesitant, though, to cast Clift as a “sad young man,” “self-loathing homosexual,” or fit him into any other category into which gay men were sorted from the 1950s to ’70s. Alcoholism affects everyone, and in the postwar period heavy drinking was routine across the board. By the time Clift’s drinking became full-blown alcoholism, it was impossible to disentangle from his devastating car accident, the prescription painkillers he needed at the time, and his professional fear regarding the damage done to his face. In the latter part of his career, his drinking and drug taking were so dominant in his life that he couldn’t function without them. Paradoxically, at the point when he worked with unsupportive or openly hostile homophobic producers and directors, the drugs and drinking sustained him as much as they destroyed him.

Q: You write about the fan magazines of the 1950s that frequently used sexually suggestive headlines such as “Who Is Monty Kidding?” How well known was the truth about Clift’s sexuality during that era?
A: Clift worked in a period when fan magazines were challenged by scandal magazines, each promising “the truth” about stars’ private lives. Ironically, even the scandal rags did not want any “truth” firmly established because that would rob them of the chance to repeatedly tantalize readers with the next promised exposé. Biographical information suggests that people who worked with Clift always “knew” in exact proportion to what they wanted to know. Fans likewise. Everyone minimized the complexity of Clift’s emotional relationships — with men, older women, young women — in order to maintain the image of the actor that appealed to them most.

Q: A recent article in Newsweek suggests audiences can’t accept gay actors as romantic leading men when we know the truth about their real-life sexuality and uses Rock Hudson as an example. How do you think this applies to Clift, who had such intense chemistry on-screen with Elizabeth Taylor and other actresses?
A: When audiences think they know something about an actor’s personal sexuality it becomes available as a touchstone to spectators watching a performance but is never mandatory. People judging a performance often appreciate it most the more it varies from what we think we know about the performer — casting against type, nice people playing psychos, beautiful actresses playing ugly. If we think of Clift as an actor, then his persuasiveness as a romantic lead opposite Taylor, Olivia de Havilland, or Jennifer Jones increases our appreciation of his skill as he seems to become inseparable from the role.

Another issue is history itself. As new generations are introduced to Clift and Hudson, they often react to the performers without knowing any biographical information about them. They are also less invested in “the truth” than those who experienced a change in their perception through revelations and the exposure of secrets. The freer sexuality of Brando or Dean, for instance, has not come to dominate their images.

Q: How do you think Clift would have fared personally and professionally if he began his career today, with the intrusion of the Internet and paparazzi?
A: The intrusion of the media today is offset by the openness of some gay performers — though not romantic leading men just yet. As Tom Cruise’s career shows, it is possible to withstand rumors and media speculation if you have the power and the will to do so. Because Clift was never as closeted as Rock Hudson, I don’t believe he would fight terribly hard to maintain the illusion of offscreen heterosexuality. He might be more likely to take a Keanu Reeves approach, where the actor neither courts nor tries to dispel the fantasies of any fan. In several roles in the severely repressive 1950s he even courted audiences to read his characters — and maybe himself — as gay in the casually flirtatious scenes in Red River, the rejection of heterosexual relationships in I Confess, Suddenly, Last Summer, and Freud, the material on gay Army life that acts as a subtext throughout From Here to Eternity, and the relationship with Frank Sinatra’s character in the film.

Christopher Plummer Plays Gay For First Time in "Beginners" Which Shows it's Never too Late to Come Out said...

If I were to write the words "Ewan McGregor" and "gay movie" in the same sentence, one might naturally assume I'd be referring to the upcoming (and much delayed) release of I Love You Philip Morris starring McGregor and Jim Carrey.

But McGregor actually has a second gay-themed movie currently making the rounds. The less familiar one is called Beginners which just made its debut at the Toronto International Film Festival. But this time McGregor isn't playing gay; it's Christopher Plummer who has that honor.

In Beginners, the 80-year-old Plummer plays Hal, a 75-year-old man who decides to finally come out of the closet after his wife of five decades has died of cancer. Unfortunately for Hal, he too eventually dies from cancer, but only after first having lived five years as an out gay man.

The film is based on what actually happened when Beginners' director Mike Mills lived almost the exact same scenario when his own father came out under the same circumstances. AfterElton.com hasn't yet seen the movie, but based on reports from Toronto, Hal's coming out isn't anguished, and his son, played by McGregor, isn't troubled over the revelation.

Rather it forces him to reevaluate how he has dealt with his own heterosexual love life.

TORONTO: The Toronto deals are exploding! Anchor Bay Films has just closed all English-speaking rights to Beautiful Boy, the Shawn Ku-directed drama. I'm told the deal was 7-figures, negotiated by Paradigm Motion Picture Finance Group's Ben Weiss with Anchor Bay Films' Kevin Kasha. Deal includes a P&A commitment. Lightning Entertainment is selling foreign. It stars Maria Bello and Michael Sheen as disengaged parents of a college student who discover not only that he has been killed in a campus shooting, but that he was the triggerman who massacred other students. The picture premiered Sunday and has been a topic of buzz, particularly for those strong lead performances and Ku's and Michael Armbruster's script.

I don't blame Jake for getting out of HW. Some fans of Jake really need help and they need a life. Not make a life out of following Jake. So what the f*** if he's gay. He does not deserve immature and derange fans who have nothing to do but rant the he and Austin are together forever and try to tell the world when all obvious and rationale says they are not.

Speculating about the legs being Jake years ago may have been fun then, but to continue this obsessive and childish bullshit years later then post it on Youtube says something about the deranged person who calls themself a fan. They really need a life and need to stop trying to life Jake's life. It's really scary. I hope it's not Special K.

Ellen inspired Lynch to 'come out'

Glee actress Jane Lynch vowed to 'come out' after TV host Ellen DeGeneres inspired her by publicly discussing her sexuality.

The TV star, who married her partner Lara Embry in May, spent years hiding the truth about her preferences and was terrified of her secret becoming public.

But when DeGeneres came out after appearing on the cover of Time magazine in 1997, Lynch felt it was time to do the same.

She tells DeGeneres, "I used to lay in bed and go, 'How will I come out or will I come out?'

"You were at the height of your fame and you came out. And that just blazed a trail for me. It really did. It made it so much easier for me, what you did."

Lynch also admits she found coming out easier because she isn't an A-list Hollywood star: "It's because I'm a character actor, I think. If Julia Roberts were gay, I think it would be harder. She's an ingenue."

Nothing at all to signify it's Jake's legs except wishful thinking to fulfill a fantasy. The idea that someone is spending time studying legs, ankles, feet, etc. so closely is pathetic. Please. It's not a freaking CIA document discovered by covert spies, it's a dumb picture. Having said that, although I find 90% of the stuff SK posts on OMG cringeworthy, I don't think SK put it on youtube and I do think it was a troll trying to start trouble."

The first intelligent comment I have read here during the last hour.

What evidence do we have?

The photograph. No one can prove 100% that legs belong to Jake, but those could be Jake's legs, no one can deny that either.

11:06: You have to be from OMG, wearing woman's clothing is not proof of someone's gayness since lots of straight men cross dress

LOL! You already manage to forget that those LEGS ARE AROUND ANOTHER MAN. That's very, very gay.

WOW, trolly is very upset by that photo, I wonder why?

Following Jake for years now as a fan, I wouldn't peg him as someone secretly enjoying woman's clothes and shoes.

Sorry 11:23 AM, but that's like saying you have an idea what kind of sex toys Jake likes.

Thanks, 11:13am :)

You know that isn't so - this picture could be a proof of Jake's gayness.

LOL. I don't even know where to begin with such a ridiculous statement. Please take this embarrassing stuff back to OMG. If you think there is any "proof" of anything in that picture I'm afraid you may have lost touch with reality.

What is ridiculous about the statement that people can be recognized based on photographs of their body parts and that men in dresses with their legs around other men are usualy gay, 11:27 AM?

Please do tell, if you can.

That's not evidence and it's not proof. It's speculation - and wild speculation at best. It's absurd to use "no can deny" as a basis for proof or evidence. I can't deny that there is a possibility that the world will end tomorrow. Just like I can't deny the possibility that Jake will come out tomorrow - I think the odds are the same for both, lol.

11:32 AM - Jake legs are very similar to legs in that picture. The point - it could be his legs, you can't rule him out.

Get real. There are no distinguishing characteristics of body parts in that photograph. If you had an ounce of objectivity about any of this you would realize that.

Sorry, you're the one missing the point. You can't "rule out" millions of people. Big effing deal.

Ok, it's Jake's legs. He and Austin are still together even though it seems they don't spend much time together and are hiding one or two tots somewhere.

Happy now?

I think a sane, halfway intelligent person would think this blog is absolutely ridic.
I admit TT started out intriguing, but the more I read the more ridiculous all the stories sound. I've no idea why I'm still here, I guess I'm used to visit this blog regularly. But some comments are too crazy and childish to bear sometimes.

Maybe because there is no TT and fanfic is always over the top.

11:36 AM, please read comments. One more time just for you:

The idea that someone is spending time studying legs, ankles, feet, etc. so closely is pathetic.

--> It is reasonable to study the photo because it could be proof of Jake being gay. And I'm sure you know that different men have different feet, no need to work for CSI to know that.

Of course! There are NO closeted actors in Hollywood!!!

Why are you making up that shit???
What Jake and Austin being or not being a couple at this moment has to do with a 3-4 years old picture?
NO ONE said not implied that Jake being in that photo equals 'Jake and Austin are together and have kids'.

You're sure worked up what you insist is just a pair of women's legs around Austin.

^^ No Destiny, I'm worked up because of the stupidity that gets slug around as facts by some, such as the Legs and Austin picture. Then try and pimp it around the net as a factual picture of a known actor who is hiding in the closet to try and generate discussion about it on a well known entertainment/social site. This may support your agenda of outing in the closet actors even though you don't know "WHO'S" legs they are.

It's "WISHFUL" thinking that they are Jake's legs and anyone who says they are his legs needs help too. This includes YOU.

Well sorry to say Jake is not one of them, you will realise that one day and you will go pop titty pop, can't wait.

So?

People are free to discuss Jake's bearding photos, tabloid fiction and PR crap, but no one should discuss anything that could prove Jake's gayness?

Wait, what? Are you talking about youtube? I didn't follow the link because the picture is stupid, but I thought someone said the comments were disabled. A discussion can't be generated if the comments are disabled, lol.

10:59 You are a straight woman, you know zero about gay men. And FYI, gay and straight men wear women's clothing for various reasons but your sterotype of gay men due the fact that you live in a trailer park and get all your info from reading slash and gossip blogs is no surprise.

Since you obviously didn't bother to look at the picture or just love to play stupid - those LEGS ARE AROUND ANOTHER MAN and that's gay.

Straight men don't wrap their legs around other man's necks and shoulders.

For the sake of argument/discussion let's say that pic that OMG likes to post over and over is Jake. I don't know if it is or isn't. How exactly does that prove gayness again? We know he's friends with both guys. It's part of a photoshoot. Not a stolen photo from the bedroom.

Straight men love to shave legs, wear dresses and high heels and sit on their male friends shoulders. Do you agree?

Since when? We have seen just one photo.
