Marlon Brando and Greta Garbo: 5 bisexual celebrities from the past

In "the Golden age of Hollywood" actors and Actresses were not the advocates of puritanical morality. Many of them indulged in sexual adventures with partners of both sexes.

Marlon Brando called one of the greatest actors in history, a significant figure in world cinema. And it is not surprising that Brando had many Hobbies, serious and not.

One of his biographers Stephen Kanter once said:

In his autobiography "Songs that sang to me mother," Brando recalled how he met Marilyn Monroe at a party, they had a brief affair, but then communication has interrupted. Brando was married four times, officially he had 11 children, informal figure reached 17.

Since 1976 many biographers, Brando claimed that he was bisexual. Brando himself admitted it in an interview with the French journalist:

Most discussed his affair has been rumored to be James Dean. According to other sources (the book Brando Unzipped), Brando was in a relationship with Cary Grant, Montgomery Clift and sir John Halgadom. And according to some rumors, and even Bob Dylan.

Brando never hid the fact that the stores at home the urn with the ashes of his closest friend, actor Wally Cox, with whom close friends from the age of ten, went to scatter his ashes along with his own. When the widow Cox found out about this interview, she tried to sue for removal of the ashes of his wife, but the judge found the subject of the proceedings.

Starting off as a silent movie star, Garbo made the whole world wait with bated breath, when the "Swedish Sphinx" talks. Her voice has charmed viewers: low, slightly husky, with a noticeable Swedish accent, he won the hearts of many.

Personal life the actress was not as smooth as her career. Garbo never married, she had no children prior to her death she lived alone. Despite the fact that it is known for several novels Garbo with men she did not hide their sympathies and women.

One of the most intriguing questions of Hollywood still remains whether the Garbo affair with Marlene Dietrich, or is it just speculation.

If you believe the rumors, Garbo was the love relationship with silent film star Louise Brooks (she is confirmed), actress Lillian Tashman, Billie holiday and Tallulah Bankhead.

In 1931, Garbo met the actress who was an open lesbian Mercedes de Acosta. According to their biographers, the actress was passionate casual affair, but the two women remained friends for life — they were friends for 30 years. Garbo Acosta wrote nearly two hundred letters, postcards and telegrams, some of them are now kept in the Museum. Family Garbo allowed to publish only 87 of them.

Mimi Pollak, Swedish actress who in 2005 published 60 letters written to her Greta Garbo. After 1930, Garbo found out that a friend is pregnant, she wrote:

In 1975, once wrote a poem in which he described his anguish from the fact that it can not touch the hand of a friend who had to go through life. Who was it?

American silent film actress Joan Crawford though rarely appeared in highly artistic films, had one of the most successful and longest careers in Hollywood: 50 years on stage, 80 movies with her participation. Was married four times and adopted five children.

But the rumors about gluttony Crawford went already. Why should only a controversial pornographic film negatives which the Studio had to shell out $ 100 thousand to Directors not spread it.

Among her possible mistress called Alice DELAMAR, Barbara Stanwyck, Martha Raye, Dorothy Arzner and some others. There were even rumors of a torrid affair with Marilyn Monroe, but no evidence of this novel is not.

Unlike a stage image, personal life Dietrich was carefully hidden from prying eyes. Dietrich was openly bisexual and even flirted with transvestism and gender stereotypes of the time.

For example, she was training to box one of famous Turkish coaches Sabri Mahir in Berlin. Boxing school opened its doors to women in the late 20's. Austrian writer Hedwig Baum says:

Married Dietrich was only once. She attributed many novels: short and long. One of them was having an affair with Mexican actress Lupe Velez. Probably broke up women is not too good, because Velez claimed that "if she had the opportunity, she'd scratch Marlene Dietrich eyes."

Among its probable mistresses called Anne Warner (wife of Jack Warner, one of the owners of Warner), Lily Damita, Claudette Colbert and Dolores del Rio, who herself Dietrich considered the most beautiful woman in Hollywood.

Actor, earned fame for starring in the films "East of Eden", "rebel without a cause" and "Giant", died tragically and terribly. The Dean's death has created many myths about his life.

James Dean never hid his homosexuality. He managed to avoid the army, claiming that he is homosexual. However, much spoke rather in favor of his bisexuality. For example, answering a question about his sexual orientation, Dean uttered his famous phrase:

The last five years of his life Dean was friends with William bast, his roommate at UCLA, his first biographer. In his book bast hinted as gay Dina, and that between friends was in close contact, though bearing rather "experimental" in nature.

Several people, including Basta, saying that he had an affair with producer Rogers Bruscetta, who helped Dean to make a career. He Braskett said:

Another friend, Dina, writer John Gilmore, who along with Dean was fond of racing, confessed that he was a one-time homosexual relationship with Dean, but they were also "experimental".

However, there were also those who argued that Dean speaks about his homosexuality solely for the sake of PR.
