"The problem with people who have no vices is that generally you can be pretty sure they're going to have some pretty annoying virtues."

For those of us that are under the age of 40--which 4 of Elizabeth Taylor's Ex-hubbies are gay? Please tell me Rod Steiger is one of them...

David

Note from Ben Boxer:
I'll give it a try, to the best of my knowledge.

#1 Nicky Hilton, spoiled playboy son of Conrad Hilton and an heir to the Hilton Hotel fortune, married her when they were not much more than kids and took her to Europe and was drunk the whole time they were married, which wasn't long. He was a gambler and a boozer, and they say most alcoholic men are repressed homosexuals.

#2 Michael Wilding was an English actor (Taylor was born in England of American parents which made her a British subject and qualified her for the "Dame" title she carries today, but she came to the States at age 9.) who had a couple of kids with her, but they were divorced after a Hollywood gossip columnist informed Taylor and English actress Jean Simmons that their respective husbands had been gay lovers for years. Simmons was married to English heartthrob Stewart Granger.

#3 Mike Todd was prolly straight. I lived in Manhattan when they got engaged and he had a big reputation around town as a wheeler-dealer ladies' man. I was in Cartier Jewelers the day after he bought Liz the famous "skating rink" diamond engagement ring there. My Cartier salesman told me Todd had picked it out and whipped out $75,000 cash for it on the spot. He also told me that Todd went into Cartier's and bought "little baubles" like $500 cigarette lighters for many women. She really loved him and I think she was a trophy for him. He was killed in a small-plane crash.

#4 Eddie Fisher (father of Carrie Fisher in "Star Wars") was a famous crooner. I had his job in the Army after he got out. In our unit, he was remembered for his short arms and long dick. A buddy of mine got his cast-off shirts because he had the same funny little arms. I heard that Fisher was a great "swordsman" as we used to call a straight cocksman, and his sexual feats were legendary. She broke up his marriage to Debbie Reynolds (Carrie's mom) when he over-consoled Liz after the death of Mike Todd.

#5 and #6 She married Richard Burton twice. They had a stormy relationship, but were treated like a king and queen. I was living in Rome when they made "Cleopatra" and saw them several times. He was super sexy. I have heard pros and cons about his sexuality, He was essentially a stage actor, which makes him suspect, as the roster of stage actors involved in gay episodes is a mile long.

#7 John Warner was a stuffy senator who prolly never had sex with anybody, but who knows! The senate pages in those days were like a harem for those guys. I went to school in Washington and knew several pages. Hee hee.

#8 Larry Fortensky spent time in jail as I recall and was a construction worker, two venues famous for gay and bi.

The guys on the bottom row were her buddies, not her husbands. She has always been a classic Queen Bee, Fag Hag, whatever.

Malcolm Forbes was a multi-millionaire motorcycle queen whom all the male bike dykes and leather types in New York called their own. His son, Steve, is famous for two things: running for prexy of the USA (and losing in the primaries) and for denying that his father was gay, the evidence notwithstanding.

Montgomery Clift was the prettiest thing on the New York stage as a teenager and became a big movie star. He and Taylor, who started out with a crush on him, became like brother and sister. He was gay as a kite and an alcoholic. He was drinking too much at one of her parties and had a car accident on the way home which messed up his beautiful face. In his last film, "The Misfits," with Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe (last completed film for all three of them, I think), he camped it up on the set so much as a queen that they had to tone him down because he pissed off the cowboys (it was a sort of western).

Roddy McDowell was a lifelong friend. They made movies together as kids. He was also very gay.

Rod Steiger was married to English actress Claire Bloom for years. Some say it ended so he could pursue a penchant for men. Might be true, given his intimate friendship with Liz. It has been said that her best relationships are with gay men because they don't treat her like a goddess the way straight men do and yet they adore her and understand friendship with women, which straights certainly do not.

Subject: Humor: Death and Taxes

The Madam opened the brothel door to see a frail, elderly gentleman..

"Can I help you?" the madam asked.

"I want Natalie," the old man replied.

"Sir, Natalie is one of our most expensive ladies, perhaps someone else..."

"No, I must see Natalie."

Just then Natalie appeared and announced to the old man that she charges $1,000 per visit.

Without blinking, the man reached into his pocket and handed her ten $100 bills. The two went up to a room for an hour,whereupon the man calmly left.

The next night he appeared again demanding to see Natalie.

Natalie explained that no one had ever come back two nights in a row and that there were no discounts... it was still $1,000 a visit.

Again the old man took out the money, the two went up to the room and an hour later, he left.

When he showed up the third consecutive night, no one could believe it.

Again he handed Natalie the money and up to the room they went.

At the end of the hour Natalie questioned the old man: "No one has ever used my services three nights in a row. Where are you from?"

The old man replied, "I'm from Philadelphia."

"Really?" replied Natalie. "I have family who lives there."

"Yes, I know," said the old man. "Your father died, and I'm your sister's attorney. She asked me to give this $3,000 to you."

(Some things in life are certain: taxes, death and being screwed by an attorney.)

(Smile)...NO COME ON,, NO Lawyers should have been offended by that joke.

Subject: Humor: gorilla tactics

A man woke up to find a gorilla in his backyard tree. He phoned the nearest S.P.C.A. The service man arrived with a stick, a Chihuahua, a pair of handcuffs and a shotgun.

"Now listen carefully," he told the homeowner. "I'm going to climb the tree and poke the gorilla with this stick until he falls to the ground. The Chihuahua has been trained to go straight for his balls, and not let go. When the gorilla crosses his hands to protect himself, you slap the handcuffs on him."

"Got it! But what's the shotgun for? "asked the homeowner.

"If I slip and fall out of the tree before the gorilla", the service man said, "Shoot the Chihuahua!!!!!!!!"

Subject: 2nd Quote of the Day

"The prince has to choose a suitable wife and not simply one that will make him happy does not have the most suitable name. This one does not belong to an ideal family, has not received the correct education to be a princess, has to share a flat to make ends meet and work to pay for her upkeep and studies."
---"Hola!" magazine, Madrid

Prince Felipe of Spain is under fire from his family and the snobbish Spanish press for his choice of a possible woman to marry. The marriage is not definite yet, but the 26-year-old Norwegian lady, a gorgeous blonde model in Oslo, certainly qualifies as his "girlfriend."

All agree, however, that Eva Sannum has at least one major asset that qualifies her as a "suitable" escort for the prince on the social scene; she is six feet tall. The handsome prince, 33, is six inches taller, and, one would hope after taking a gander at his beautiful face, is hung accordingly.

Looking at him, one enjoys remembering that although Prince Felipe's dad is Spanish, his mother is Greek. There may be hope yet.
